Document Summary

Thermodynamics = the relationship between forms of energy and heat; the interconversion between forms of energy. What are the 2 laws of thermodynamics: energy can be transferred and transformed, it cannot be created nor destroyed, energy tends to spontaneously disperse from being localized/ordered to becoming spread out/disordered, entropy = disorder. Energy = the capacity to do work: to move matter against opposing forces, to rearrange matter. Kinetic energy (ek) the energy of motion, heat. Potential energy (ep) stored energy as a result of : location ex. ball at top of hill, water behind dam, structure ex. arrangement of atoms within a molecule. Chemical reactions can therefore provide a source of useful cellular energy. Electrons participating in chemical bonds are a source of potential energy. Breaking bonds gives cell source of potential energy because we"re not just breaking bonds, we are remaking them as well.
