Any change in the state or motion of matter.

Energy that flows from the sun as electromagnetic waves.

The energy tied up and or released in the chemical bonds of organic molecules.

The energy of movement of matter.

The energy of motion. Examples; wave energy, sound, radiant energy, thermal energy and electrical.

Stored energy; energy that can do work as a consequence of its position or state. Examples; chemical energy, nuclear energy, gravitational energy, stored mechanical energy.

The study of how energy flows through living organisms

1st Law of Thermodynamics

Sometimes referred to as the law of conservation of energy, it states that energy cannot be created nor destroyed but rather can be converted from one form to another.

2nd Law of Thermodynamics

the nature of energy will tend to change from a more ordered state to a less ordered state.

The measure of randomness and disorder, usually measured by (S).

The sum of all the chemical processes that occur within a cell or organism.

The aspect of metabolism in which simpler substances are combined to form more complex substances, oftentimes resulting in the storage of energy, the production of new cellular materials, and or growth (linking amino acids to form proteins is an example).

The aspect of metabolism in which complex substances are broken down to form simpler, these reactions are particularly important in releasing chemical energy stored by the cell (breaking down starch into monosaccharides is an example).

The total potential energy of a system sometimes referred to as the heat content of the system.

The amount of energy available to do work under the conditions of a biochemical reaction, also known as Gibbs free energy.

A set of reactions in which an exergonic reaction provides the free energy required to drive an endergonic reaction; energy coupling generally occurs through a common intermediate.

The addition of a phosphate group to a molecule, often times this molecule that has been phosphoylated will be used as an intermediate in a following reaction and the phosphate group will be removed, which will in turn release a little more energy that wi
