Document Summary

In organisms, much of the work involves the transfer of one form to another . Bioenergetics: plants convert light energy to chemical energy (glucose, non-photosynthetic organisms that eat the plant convert that energy to kinetic energy. Free energy (g) the amount of energy available to do work: change in free energy (delta g) is the chemical potential of a reaction, delta g can be positive or negative. Free energy and enzyme reactions: enzymes are still required to lower the activation energy and increase the rate of reaction. Understand the importance of atp as a source of cellular energy and the catabolism of fuel molecules to obtain that energy. Why do cells need energy: biochemistry (making non spontaneous reactions proceed through reaction coupling, transport (active transport across membranes, movement (cilia and flagella, contraction e. g. muscle cells and movement around cytoskeleton, cellular work is powered by atp.
