Document Summary

Chapter two chemistry, biochemistry, and cell physiology. First law of thermodynamics (the law of conservation of energy) = energy can be converted from one form to another but the total amount of energy in the universe remains constant. Second law of thermodynamics (law of entropy) = the universe is becoming more chaotic. Living organisms have the ability to obstruct the natural processes that lead to chemical breakdown. Energy released from an object and transmitted into another object by waves or particles. Combination of potential and kinetic energy that results from the movement of charged particles down a charge gradient. Form of kinetic energy (movement of particles to increase temperature) Form of potential energy that is held within the bond of chemical structures. Trophic levels = plants capture energy from photons, with this energy they create sugars herbivorous animals eat the plants carnivores eat herbivorous.
