Document Summary

Types of energy that are most important in biology. Can be converted readily from one form to another. Open systems exchange energy and matter with surroundings, and are most important in biology. Can also have closed and isolated thermodynamic systems. Closed systems exchange energy with surroundings, but not matter. Energy can be transferred and transformed but not created or destroyed. Total amount of energy in a system and its surroundings remains constant. Each time energy is transferred or transformed, some of the energy is lost (ex. becomes unavailable to do work) Energy transfer and transformation are never 100% efficient. Increases the entropy (disorder) of a system. Total disorder of a system plus its surroundings always increases. Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be transferred or transformed. The transfer or transformation of energy increases the entropy of a system and its surroundings.
