Biology Ch. 6
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Activation Energy | |
| Active Site | |
| Anabolic | |
| ATP | The molecule that provides energy for the cell. ATP is used to fuel the endergonic reactions of life |
| Catabolic | A metabolic process concerned with the release of energy, or breaking molecules apart |
| Catalytic | |
| The potential energy that exists in the bonds of molecules | |
| Chemical Work | Work performed by chemical reactions |
| Endergonic Reaction | A chemical reaction which absorbs more energy than it releases. An endergonic reaction has a net flow of free energy into the reaction |
| Energy coupling | The ability of an enzyme to capture the energy released from ATP and use it to fuel the endergonic reaction, which the enzyme catalyzes |
| Enzymes | Large, energy coupling proteins that lower the activation energy of endergonic reactions enough to allow them to occur safely in biological systems |
| First Law of Thermodynamics | |
| Kinetic Energy | |
| Mechanical Work | |
| Potential Energy | |
| Second Law of Thermodynamics | |
