Document Summary

Energy is the capacity to cause change. From a cellular standpoint: the capacity to do work or the ability to move or elicit change in matter. Enthalpy (h) -> internal energy (total amount of energy the system has) Potential energy: stored energy due to location/ chemical structures (chemical bonds ie specific arrangements of atoms) Energy cannot be created or destroyed but can be converted from one form to another - conservation of energy. Total energy of the universe is conserved, but not evenly distributed (not at equilibrium) High energy compounds converted to low energy compounds then back to high energy. Energy resulting from chemical reactions eg burning fossil fuels. Energy stored (potential energy)in the bonds of the molecules. Chemical reactions provide reactions in the body provide energy. Break bonds -> energy can be released. Build bonds -> energy stored (potential energy) Stored in the chemical bonds of molecules as a form of potential energy called chemical energy.
