Transcript of Energy and Living Organisms
Living organisms require energy to perform functions. They:
Kidney cells: › to transports materials
Digestive tract: › break macromolecules
Heart: › to pump

Metabolism:
Anabolism:
Catabolism:

Energy:
Energy can take many forms:mechanical electric currentheat light
All energy can be classified as:-kinetic energy: -potential energy:

Potential energy stored in chemical bonds can be transferred from one molecule to another by way of electrons.
oxidation: reduction: redox reactions

Study of heat and energy flow within chemical reactions
11
First Law of Thermodynamics –
For example:sunlight energy chemical energy
photosynthesis12
Exercise to lose weight› produce heat and you
sweat› heats the air around you.
When you eat a pizza› energy from the
chemical bonds in the bread, cheese, etc. is broken down
› converted into ATP molecules through cellular respiration.

______________________________________________________________________________
The enthalpy change (ΔH) › amount of heat released or absorbed when
a chemical reaction occurs at a constant pressure.
› ΔH formation = _____________________________

Reactants:
Activation energy (Ea): Transition state: Products:
15
some of the reactant's potential energy is released into the surroundings as heat.
enthalpy of the products is ____________________
energy is _____________ ΔH is ____________

Second Law of Thermodynamics:
entropy:
The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics states that entropy is always increasing.

23
Free energy:
-denoted by the symbol G (Gibb’s free energy)
enthalpy:
free energy = enthalpy – (entropy x temp.)
G = H - TS24
Chemical reactions can create changes in free energy.
When products contain more free energy than reactants G is positive.
When reactants contain more free energy than products G is negative.
25
Chemical reactions can be described by the transfer of energy that occurs:
endergonic reaction:
exergonic reaction:
26
27
Most reactions require some energy to get started.
activation energy:
catalysts:

C6H12O6 + O2 → CO2 + H2O + Energy (as ATP)
ΔG = - 2870 kJ/mol of glucose release of energy an increase in entropy This reaction tends to proceed
spontaneously.

Photosynthesis Chemical EquationCO2 + H2O + Energy → C6H12O6 + O2 ΔG = + 2870
kJ/mol of glucose
energy is absorbed a decrease in entropy This reaction does not proceed
spontaneously as energy is needed to drive the reaction.

When the bond between phosphates is broken:
ATP ADP + Pi
energy is released
ADP = adenosine diphosphatePi = inorganic phosphateThis reaction is reversible.
