SOLUTION
◉ Metabolism.
Answer: All of the chemical reactions that occur within an organism
◉ active transport.
Answer: cytoplasm of cell has a higher concentration of k+ ions. How
will K+ ions enter the cell?
◉ metabolic pathway.
Answer: Begins with a specific molecule, which is then altered in a
series of defined steps, resulting in a certain product.
◉ Energy.
Answer: the capacity to cause change
◉ Law of Conservation of Energy.
Answer: the law that states that energy cannot be created or
destroyed but can be changed from one form to another
, ◉ second law of thermodynamics.
Answer: Every energy transfer or transformation increases the
entropy of the universe.
◉ free energy.
Answer: the portion of a system's energy that can perform work
when temperature and pressure are uniform throughout the system
◉ spontanous.
Answer: releases free energy (exergonic) (negative delta G)
◉ nonspontaneous.
Answer: requires free energy (endergonic)
◉ Delta G= Delta H- T Delta S.
Answer: H=enthalpy- total energy
G=free energy
T=temperature
S=entropy or unusable energy
◉ ATP.
