Document Summary

Metabolism: catabolism and anabolism: catabolism: the breakdown of molecules into small units, producing atp, anabolism: the building of molecules from smaller units, requiring an input of energy, atp. Energy of a system: the system"s ability to do work, what are examples of work that a cell has to do? a. i. Is energy not associated with movement but rather is stored energy. Potential energy is released when there is a change in the objects structure or position. Forms of kinetic energy include light, electricity, and thermal energy. Atp: chemical energy that is readily accessible to the cell: at physiological ph, these phosphate groups are negatively charged and tend to repel one another. When the bonds between them are broken, the potential energy they once had is released for the cell to do work. First law of thermodynamics: the first law of thermodynamics: energy is neither created nor destroyed- it simply changes from one form to another.
