Biology chapter 6

QuestionAnswer
What is energy? the capacity to do work as a force acting upon an object.
How is energy originated molecules stored by way of? sugar, glycogen, and fats
what are the "objects" in chemical energy? electrons
what is energy force? it determines the position of electrons in an atom, it also allows molecules to be transformed and formed
What is specialized proteins? a molecule synthesized by cells that can be lenthened or shorten causing the cell to move
What is ATP? it is a result of interaction among specialized protein that are driven by chemical energy released from molecules
What are the fundamental types of energy? potential and kinetic
what is kinetic energy? is energy of movement: includes light,heat, and electricity
What is potential energy? its stored energy, includes: chemical energy, stored in bonds that hold atoms together in molecules
two forms of energy that can by transformed or formed into energy kinetic and potential energy
describe the Laws of Thermodynamics? describes the basic property of energy,quantitiy total amt, and quality (usefulness) of energy.
What is the 1st law of thermodynamics? states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed by ordinary process (except nuclear energy): also energy can change form
What is a closed system? where energy can neither be released nor entered
What is another name for the 1st law of thermodynamics? law of conservation of energy
what is the law of conservation of energy? total energy before and after the process to be unchanged
what is the 2nd law of thermodynamics? states that when energy is converted from one form to another. the amt of useful energy decreases: also states that all reactions or physical changes causes energy to be converted from more useful into less usefull forms
this type of energy tends to be stored in a highly ordered manner. useful energy
these are stored , then converted from a highly organized chains of sugar molecule into a simpler water and carbon dioxide glycogen molecules
what is entropy? an increase of random disorder
this causes the amt of unuseable energy to increase randomness and disorder chemical reactions
the use of sunlight to create the low entrophy conditions of life living things
how can organism accumulate the useable energy and precisely ordered molecule that charactorized living things? nuclear reaction in the sun produce energy in a form of sunlight: a process that also produce a vast increase in entrophy
highly organized low entrophy system that charactorized life dont violate the 2nd law of thermodynamics
what is chemical reaction? process that forms or breaks that the chemical bond that holds atoms together
this reaction convert one set of chemical substances "reactants" into another set "products" chemical reaction
requires an overall set (net) input of energy or produce a net release of energy chemical reactions
what is exergonic? energy out, reactants contains moving energy than the product, and gives off some of their energy as heat
what is endergonic? energy in, requires a net input of energy, product contains more energy than the reactant, its 2nd law of thermodynamics endergonic reactants and requires a net influx of energy from an outside source
what happens in exergonic release of energy? the reactants contains more energy than the product
all chemical reactions require Activation Energy to begin: in chemical reaction the energy "push" is called activation energy
what is activation energy? a chemical reaction requiring activation energy gets started because shells of negative charged electrons surrounds all the atoms and molecules.
how are the electron shells forced together? activation energy

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
