Document Summary

Metabolism is the sum total of all chemical reactions that occur within a living organism. Aa + bb cc + dd: a and b are reactants, c and d products, a, b, c, d the number of moles. Reaction is reversible (can go in both ways: direction of the reaction depends on energy and concentrations. Atp can be used to drive a reaction in a desired direction. Catalysts can be used to speed up the rate of reaction. Two basic forms: kinetic energy: associated with movement, potential energy: energy that a substance possesses because of its structure or location. Chemical energy: energy contained within covalent bonds in molecules. First law of thermodynamics: energy cannot be created or destroyed (law of conservation of energy) Can be transferred from one place to another, and transformed from one type to another. Second law of thermodynamics: transfer of energy, or transformation of energy, increases the entropy of a system.
