CH 6: Energy and metabolism
Energy
- the capacity to do work
– kinetic - energy of motion
– potential - stored energy
Thermodynamics - changes in heat
– calorie - heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of water one degree Celsius
-kilocalorie = 1000 calories
Energy Transfer
-Movement of energy from one place to another or from one substance to another, or the conversion of
energy from one form to another.
- For example, in a car engine, the chemical energy of the fuel is converted to kinetic (motion), heat, and
sound energy.
Chemical energy transfer
-energy is transferred between reactants and products, and between the reactants or products and their
surroundings.
-The energy released or absorbed= energy of reaction or energy of formation= delta H
- amount of chemical energy stored = amount of chemical energy released; Law of Conservation of
Energy (First Law of Thermodynamics).
- energy cannot be created or destroyed, but can change form
ATP
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the chief energy currency of the cell.
– Each molecule is a nucleotide composed of ribose, adenine, and a triphosphate group.
1. energy stored in the triphosphate group
–cell uses ATP to drive endergonic reactions

Document Summary

Calorie - heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of water one degree celsius. Movement of energy from one place to another or from one substance to another, or the conversion of energy from one form to another. For example, in a car engine, the chemical energy of the fuel is converted to kinetic (motion), heat, and sound energy. Energy is transferred between reactants and products, and between the reactants or products and their surroundings. The energy released or absorbed= energy of reaction or energy of formation= delta h. Amount of chemical energy stored = amount of chemical energy released; law of conservation of. Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but can change form. Adenosine triphosphate (atp) is the chief energy currency of the cell. Each molecule is a nucleotide composed of ribose, adenine, and a triphosphate group: energy stored in the triphosphate group.
