Document Summary

Energy is the capacity to cause change and required to do work. Potential energy = stored energy: kinetic energy: object motion used to cause change (ex. Niagara falls turbines: thermal energy: change in atomic or molecular motion used to cause change (ex. Steam engine: light energy: photons cause change" (ex. Photosynthesis: chemical energy: energy resulting from chemical reactions. Potential energy is less in products than in reactants (ex. Metabolism: the sum of all chemical reactions in the body. Anabolic: use simple molecules to build more complex ones. Use energy (endergonic reaction) protein synthesis/amino acids are examples. G is the energy available to do work. G = ( gf - gi) or (free energy in products free energy in reactants) G means products have less energy than reactants, so energy is released. +g means products have more energy than reactants, so energy is used. Atp hydrolysis: -30. 5 kj/mol or -7. 3 kcal/mol. Phosphorylation: pi (inorganic phosphate) is added to a molecule.
