Document Summary

Ability to bring about change= do work: forms of e include mechanical, heat, light, sound, electrical, chemical, radioactivity, e exists in 2 states, kinetic e. Moving agellum, electrical current, boulder rolling down a hill: potential e. Chemical energy stored in organic molecules (food) boulder on top of the hill: laws of e conversion (thermodynamics, 1st law of thermodynamics = law of e conservation. Total amount of energy in universe in constant- e can be transferred or or converted from 1 form to another, but not created or destroyed: examples, motorcycle engine. Hydrocarbon in gas + o2= mechanical energy pushes pistons + co2 + co + heat e + sound energy: aerobic cellular respiration. C6h12o6 + 6o2= 6o2 + 6h2o + 36atp + heat. Bioluminescence reactions in special cells of firefly abdomen: 2nd law thermodynamics = Energy conversions are accompanied increase in disorder or randomness (entropy) in the universe. After each e conversion, universe has less useful e and more entropy.
