BIO QUIZ
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Energy | capacity to cause change( in KE and PE) |
| Kinetic Energy | Energy of motion |
| Thermal energy | type of KE with random movement of atoms or molecules (passing from one object to another is HEAT) |
| Potential energy | energy matter posses bc of its location or structure |
| Chemical energy | potential energy available for release in a chemical reaction |
| thermodynamics | study of energy transformations |
| 1st (law of energy conservation) | energy is constant, cannot be created or destroyed, just transferred |
| Cellular resoiration | Chemical energy stored in organic molecules is used to produce atp (O2 is broken down to CO2 and H2O to release ATP) |
| entropy | measure of disorder or randomness |
| second law | every energy conversion increases the entropy |
| exergonic reaction | releases energy |
| endergonic | require net input of energymand stop products rich in PE (energy inward) |
| Metabolism | total of an organisms chemical reactions |
| Metabolic pathway | chemical reactions that builds or breaks down a complex molecule |
| energy coupling | use of energy from an exergonic reaction to drive an endergonic reaction |
| atp | powers nearly all forms of cellular work |
| phosphorylation | transfer of phosphate group from atp to another molecule |
| kilocalories | measure the quantity of heat |
| redox reaction | transfer of one electrons from one molecule to another |
| oxidation | loss of electrons from one substance |
| reduction | addition of electrons to a substance |
