Document Summary

Organisms have two ways to harvest energy from their environment: Metabolism is the building and breaking down of carbon sources to harness or release. Energy is deigned as the ability to do work. Potential energy is energy that is not associated with movement but rather is stored. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. Other forms of kinetic energy include light. First law of thermodynamics: energy is neither created nor destroyed, but simply changes from one form to another. Second law of thermodynamics: the amount of disorder (entropy) increases when energy is transformed. Or mother mature loves a mess. (test question) Catabolism is the breakdown of molecules into smaller units, producing energy. Anabolism is the building of molecules from smaller unites, requiring an input of energy. Energy is the ability to do work. At physiological ph, these phosphate groups are negatively charged and tend to repel.
