, Metabolism the totality of an organism's chemical reactions
Metabolic pathway Begins with a specific molecule, which is then
altered in a series of defined steps, resulting in a
certain product.
catabolic pathway release energy by breaking down complex
molecules into simpler compounds
anabolic pathways consume energy to build complex molecules
from simpler ones
- proteins are synthesized from simpler
molecules called amino acids
Bioenergetics the study of how energy flows through living
organisms
Energy the capacity to cause change
kinetic energy energy of motion
thermal energy kinetic energy associated with the random
movement of atoms or molecules
heat thermal energy in transfer from one object to
another
potential energy energy that matter possesses because of its
location or structure
chemical energy potential energy available for release in a
chemical reaction
Thermodynamics The study of energy transformations that occur in
a collection of matter.
