Document Summary

Energy is the capacity to do work; the ability to rearrange a collection of matter. Energy concept 1: energy is always conserved it is not possible to destroy it or create it. Energy concept 2: energy can be converted into other forms of energy: classify different types of energy, kinetic energy: energy of movement, potential energy: stored energy, potential -> kinetic -> thermal, electrical energy, chemical energy. State two laws of thermodynamics and explain their importance for the organisms. First law of thermodynamics: energy can be transformed from one form to another, but it can neither be created nor destroyed. The energy in the universe is constant: organisms must obtain energy from the environment and store it until it is needed. Second law of thermodynamics: systems tend toward disorder: entropy: measure of randomness, or the amount of disorder, every energy conversion results in the loss of some energy as heat.
