Document Summary

Bioluminescence conversion of energy in organic molecules to light. Manages material and energy resources of the cell. Metabolic pathways help be enzyme; molecules altered at every step in pathway. Mechanisms regulate enzymes to balance metabolic supply and demand. Catabolic process break down complex molecules into simple molecules: create energy, cellular respiration take energy from nutrients, break down to form energy in form of atp. Anabolic pathways simple molecules build up to more complex molecules: consume energy, also known as biosynthetic pathway , ex/ synthesis of protein from amino acids. Energy capacity to cause a change; use energy to do work by move matter against opposite forces (gravity, friction) Types of energy: 1) kinetic energy and 2) potential energy: kinetic energy objects do work by impacting motion. Heat (thermal energy) kinetic energy of randomly moving atoms and molecules: potential energy energy from location or molecular structure. Chemical energy potential energy available for release in chemical reactions ex/ sugar.
