Document Summary
Downhill (catabolic) is then stored, so that the. Uphill (anabolic) can use it to create more complex molecules: bioenergetics: the study of how energy ows through living organisms, energy: the capacity to cause change, or to do work. To elaborate, energy can be used to move matter against opposing forces. Example: light in photosynthesis: kinetic energy: energy of motion, thermal energy: kinetic energy associated with the random movements of atoms or molecules. An isolated system doesn"t have thermodynamics; it doesn"t transfer energy as it closed. In the other hand, an open system does have thermodynamics; it is open to exchange matter and energy. e. g organisms: first law of thermodynamics/law of. Conservation: energy is constant, energy neither created nor destroyed, second law of thermodynamics, every energy transfer increases the entropy, energy can be recycled, but the second coming is not as strong as the rst one, making it disordered.
