Document Summary
Isometric: y = ax1 (a is proportionality coefficient; 1 represents: log y = 1logx + loga, line is linear for both equations. B tells you something about shape of curve. Catabolism release of chemical energy that is in bonds. Anabolism to keep yourself organized; make new molecules. Organisms first priority is to gain energy to stay alive. To understand how much food organisms, need in a day, expand that to ecosystems and allocate that to different activities. Change in system always increase in disorder. Isolated systems as no exchange of energy with the external environment (no energy input or output) ex) universe. It will eventually have completed decay to random motion heat. Various types of energy can all be used to do mechanical capacity to do mechanical work. Molecules rearrange add atoms or oxidised; trapping energy in chemical bondsor liberating it when bonds are broken. When molecules get together requires input of chemical energy and break down release chemical energy.
