Document Summary

Nerve and muscles cells need energy to build macromolecules, move molecules past each other, creating chemical gradients, creating ion gradients. Law of conservation of energy- energy cannot be created or destroyed, can be transformed from one type to another, most energy comes from the sun. Second law- transformation of energy from one form to another increases entropy or degree of disorder of a system. Exergonic- no external energy needed, reaction is spontaneous, releases energy. Endergonic- external energy needed, reaction is not spontaneous, requires energy. Stored chemical energy must be released- processes that release energy lead to atp synthesis, catabolic/ exergonic. Movement requires energy- processes that require energy, lead to atp consumption, anabolic/ endergonic. Atp bonds are easy to break and requires energy. Atp is not the highest energy molecule (immediate energy) Atp hydrolysis releases energy- phosphate groups require low energy to break, new bonds formed release more energy than the energy required to break the bond.
