Document Summary

Metabolism: the sum of all chemical reactions in one organism. Chemical work: making and breaking chemical bonds, building and breaking molecules. Kinetic work: move ions, molecules, large stuff in and out of the cell, move a cell. All chemical reactions either extract energy from nutrients or synthesize/break down molecules. Anabolism: reactions that require energy to build molecules (ana builds a wall) catabolism: reactions that release energy by breaking down molecules (cat breakdown) Kinetic energy: the energy of motion (ex. moving na+ across the membrane, down its concentration gradient) Potential energy: stored energy (ex. disequilibrium of na+ ready to move down its concentration gradient) Thermal energy: heat (ex. reactions lose energy in form of heat) Chemical energy: potential energy in food/storage molecules. Exergonic reaction: breaking bonds causing energy to release. Endergonic reaction: creating new bonds causing energy to be absorbed constant changes of energy from one form to another.
