Document Summary

Sum total of all chemical reactions that occur within an organism. Also refers to specific chemical reactions at the cellular level. Metabolism is about energy: getting it, using it to do work. What reactions provide useful energy: same reactions require energy (so it"s not these) 2 factors govern the fate of a chemical reaction: direction many cells use atp to drive reactions in 1 direction. Can be manipulated by changing concentrations: rate catalysts called enzyme can speed the reaction rate. 2 forms: kinetic: associated with movement, potential: due to structure or location. Chemical energy: (potential) energy in molecular bonds. E. g. covalent bonds in glucose store energy. A diver has more potential energy on the platform than in the water. Diving converts potential energy to kinetic energy. A diver has less potential energy in the water than on the platform. Climbing up converts the kinetic energy of muscle movement to potential energy.
