Chemical Reactions And Energy

Front 1

catabolic

Back 1

breaks down molecules

Front 2

anabolic

Back 2

combines things

Front 3

metabolism

Back 3

sum of chemical reactions that transform energy (both anabolic + catabolic)

Front 4

low metabolism

Back 4

greater tendency to gain fat is ___ metabolism

Front 5

law of thermodynamics

Back 5

this law states that energy is constant , none can be lost or gained. Energy converts to other kinds . For example when energy is lost it actually becomes a byproduct such as heat

Front 6

faster metabolism

Back 6

warmer creatures , energy is constently converting creating the byproduct of heat

means

Front 7

activation energy

Back 7

energy required to start a reaction

Front 8

determines the amount of potential energy

Back 8

bonding. the more stable and the more bonds the more ___________ energy and if it is nonpolar

Front 9

high activation energy

Back 9

energy that is harder to break so it causes no reaction or a slow reaction

Front 10

transition c

Back 10

temporary transition stage of breaking and creating bonds. It is in between the starting molecule and the ending molecule

Front 11

low activation energy

Back 11

energy that is easier to break since bonds unstable so it causes a quicker spontaneous reaction

Front 12

spontaneous reactions

Back 12

fast, no constant energy required for reactants to combine

Front 13

reactions with high activation energy are

Back 13

non spontaneous reactions because too slow to be useful in spontaneous reactions and have a slow rate when nothing is added to assist the reaction

Front 14

What can be added to change the rate of the reaction?

Back 14

concentrations of reactents/products, catalysts/enzymes, and temperature

Front 15

endergonic

Back 15

same as endothermic, except its general energy gained instead of thermal energy

Front 16

exergonic

Back 16

same as exothermic, except its general energy lost instead of thermal energy

Front 17

an endegonic reaction is usually a

Back 17

anabolic and non spontanenous reaction since little product

Front 18

potential energy graph is

Back 18

the overall reaction being displayed

Front 19

most reactions actually consist of

Back 19

multiple reactions

Front 20

what is the enzyme that helps converts atp to adp

Back 20

atpase

Front 21

what type of reaction is atp being converted to adp

Back 21

exergonic

Front 22

which has more potential energy atp or adp

Back 22

atp
