  • Metabolism

    All the chemical reactions in your body.

  • Anabolism

    • Building big molecules (uses energy)

  • Catabolism

    Breaking down molecules (releases energy)

  • Dehydration

    Joining molecules by removing water.

  • Hydrolysis

    Breaking molecules apart by adding water.

  • Chemical Energy

    • Potential energy stored in molecular bonds.

    • Example is food .

  • ATP structure

    • Made of Adenine, Ribose,3 phosphate group.

    • Energy is released when the last phosphate bond breaks.

  • Kinetic Energy

    The energy an object possesses due to it's motion.

  • Endergonic

    Reactions are essential for maintaining the complex structures and functions of living organisms.

  • Exergonic

    Is a chemical reaction with a positive standard Gibbs free energy, at constant temperature and pressure.
