Document Summary

* building (uses energy) or taking apart (enzymes): energy and the cell: Energy - capacity to do work; all organisms requires energy from smallest to largest. Bioenergetics - study of how organisms manage their energy system. Kinetic energy - energy of motion; heat is a type of kinetic energy. Heat - is the energy associated with motion of molecules. Light - another type of kinetic energy; starts with the sun. Chemical energy - is the pe of molecules. => potential energy are break down to form kinetic energy to do work. => ex: photosynthesis - process that release kinetic energy. Thermodynamics => study of energy transformation that occurs in a collection of matter. System => collection of matter; can be open or closed. Energy can be changed from one form to another. * sunlight is the ultimate energy source of all organisms. Endergonic - reaction absorb energy and yield products rich in potential energy.
