Document Summary

Chemical energy is the energy that is contained and released by chemical reactions(contained in sugar, glycogen, and fat) Potential energy is stored energy(rock on hill, electrical charge in battery) Kinetic energy is the energy of movement(light, heat, electricity) Laws of thermodynamics: energy is neither created nor destroyed, the amount of useful energy decreases when energy is converted from one form to another. Entropy is a measure of disorder, or more precisely unpredictability(systems move towards maximum entropy) Chemical reaction is a process that forms or breaks chemical bonds holding atoms together. Photosynthesis requires energy and co2 and h2o to get glucose and oxygen. The formation of atp is an endergonic reaction. Electron carrier molecules transport high energy electrons (nad and fad) Coupled reaction, an exergonic reaction provides energy that is needed to fuel endergonic reactions. Enzymes lower activation energy and control rate of energy release and capture of atp.
