|
Heat energy
|
Energy that makes particles and molecules move faster increasing its it's energy of motion

Ex: pendulum. The energy of the universe is a constant.
|
|
Second Law of Thermodynamics
|
States that energy transfers and transformations increase entropy of the universe
|
Ex: entropy. Organisms are disorganized.
|
|
Entropy
|
The disorder of a system or organism and it's surroundings
|
Ex: soda pop fizzing. My room being very messy and out of order is entropy.
|
|
Enzymes
|
Proteins that lower the activation energy required to make a reaction proceed
|
Ex: proteins. Enzymes are also called proteins which are in many things.
|
|
Actives site
|
Small area of the tertiary structure that has the exact shape of starting molecule or molecules
|
Ex: substrate molecules combining. Active site is a place on the tertiary structure.
|
|
Substrate
|
The close fit between the starting molecule and active site
|
Ex: enzyme. A substrate is an enzyme.
|
|
Metabolism
|
Consists of all chemical activities and changes that take place in a color an organism

Ex: synthesis and decomposition. Decomposition are the breaking down reactions of metabolism.
|
|
Synthesis
|
"Building up" reactions of metabolism. Type of metabolism. Includes biosynthesis.
|
Ex: formation of glucose. Synthesis includes biosynthesis
|
|
Decomposition
|
"Breaking down" reaction of metabolism, larger molecules break down into smaller molecules

|
Biosynthesis
|
Forms larger, more complex biomolecules from smaller and less complex ones. Build proteins from amino acids, and build tissue from protein.
|
Ex: DNA from nucleotides. Biosynthesis can make blood and muscle from proteins.
|
|
Oxidation
|
Process of decomposition, removal of electrons from a molecule, certain bonds are broken and rearranged, some of the energy released as heat or free energy.
|
Ex: ATP. Oxidation is a process of decomposition
|
|
ATP
|
Adenosine triphosphate. Compound that has three phosphate groups and a adenine and ribose, used by cells to store energy and to fuel many metabolic processes, drives reactions of biosynthesis, makes it a useful energy-transfer molecule in cells
|
Ex: Nucleotide. ATP is a nucleotide.
|
|
Digestion
|
Process that breaks down food collectively
|
Ex: Chewing food. There are two types of digestion, chemical and physical.

Pepsin
|
Active protein-digesting enzyme in the stomach, breaks down large protein molecules into smaller polypeptides
|
Ex: enzyme. Pepsin is an enzyme
|
|
Small intestines
|
Further digestion breaks down polypeptides into amino acids. Pancreatic juice enters the intestine and shifts the pH from acidic to basic so it able those polypeptides
|
Ex: trypsin. Trypsin breaks down the polypeptides in the small intestines.
|
|
Salivary amylase
|
Enzyme in saliva that begins digestion of starch, converts starch into disaccharides
|
Ex: starch. Salivary amylase converts starch into disaccharides.
|
|
Lipase
|
Fat digesting enzyme that is secreted in the pancreatic and intestinal juices, splits fats and fatty acids into glycerol
|
Ex: fats. Lipase is an enzyme.
|
|
Villi
|
Small finger like projections that increases the surface area of the intestinal lining, contained capillaries, serve as entry points of the blood streams
|
Ex: capillaries. Villi contains capillaries.
