Document Summary

All of the chemical reactions that occur in an organism. Anabolic - result in the formation of polymers/large molecules. Catabolic - results in the breakdown of molecules. Kinetic energy- energy that is associated with moving matter. Temperature is a reflection of the ke of its atoms or molecules. Fast molecules = high ke = high t. Energy and chemical bonds: bond formation produces heat. Laws of thermodynamics: the first law: when glucose is broken down, there is a release of energy. The physics of energy transformations that occur in a collection of matter. Any collection of matter is a system. Organism is a system, essentially: the first law of thermodynamics. Pla(cid:374)ts do(cid:374)"t (cid:373)ake e(cid:374)ergy - they convert it. For life forms on earth, the sun: t and entropy (s) Entropic state of a given system is proportional to t. At absolute 0, the entropic state of any system is 0. Free energy embodies the first and second laws.
