Document Summary

Chapter 3 bio review: first law of thermodynamics/the law of energy conservation: energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can only be converted from one form into another. The amount of energy in a closed system remains constant. Cell respiration: plants and animals convert potential energy stored in carbohydrates and other energy rich molecules into other forms of energy (chemical atp, thermal). Second law of thermodynamics: in every energy transfer or conversion, some of the useful energy in the system becomes unusable (unable to do work) and increases the entropy of the universe (thermal energy). The entropy of the universe is always increasing. Endothermic: absorbs energy products have more potential energy than reactants (energy absorbed from bonds is greater than the energy released: gibbs free energy: the energy that can do useful work. Therefore the products have less free energy than the reactants. (favorable) Endergonic reaction: positive g, does (cid:374)ot o(cid:272)(cid:272)ur spo(cid:374)ta(cid:374)eously.
