metabolism
The energy available to the universe is constant
First law of thermal dynamics?
Reactions that break apart macro molecules releasing nutrients and energy to be used by the organism
Catabolic
Chemical reactions do not create nor destroy energy
First law of thermal dynamics
This molecule orients its substrate to promote a chemical reaction
Enzymes
Process involved in the elimination of waste produced during the utilization of energy
Metabolism
Energy of one form is converted to a less concentrated form whenever energy is transformed or transferred
Second Law of thermal dynamics
A series of chemical reactions mediated by enzymes that can be biosynthetic or degradtive
Metabolic Pathways
When the energy from the sun excited an electron away from chlorophyll, the chlorophyll is said to be
Oxidized
A pathway that is exergonic, degradtive and releases energy
Catabolic pathway
This molecule can change shape during a reaction but returns to its original shape when the reaction is over
