Metabolism
What is all of the chemical reactions in a cell?
Metabolism
What Law of Thermodynamics states, "Energy can be converted from one form to another, but it cannot be created nor destroyed."
The First Law OR the Law of Conservation of Energy
What is the most abundant energy-carrier molecule in cells?
ATP
When the bond between the second and third phosphate groups is broken, is energy used or released?
Released
In cellular respiration, _______ is used to break down organic molecules, resulting in the production of carbon dioxide and water.
oxygen
What are the series of chemical reactions, in which the product of one reaction is the substrate for the next reaction?
Metabolic pathways
What is another name for the First Law of Thermodynamics?
Law of Conservation of Energy
What is ATP consist of?
Adenine base, a ribose sugar, and three phosphate groups
When the bond between the second and third phosphate groups is broken, what molecule does it form?
Adenosine diphosphate
What breaks down organic molecules to release energy for cell use?
Which type of metabolic pathway releases energy by breaking down large molecule into smaller molecules?
Catabolic pathways
Which Law of Thermodynamics states, "A system's entropy approaches a constant value as the temperature approaches absolute zero."
Fourth Law
What type of organisms is ATP found in?
How does adenosine diphosphate (ADP) become adenosine triphosphate (ATP)?
A trick to differentiate adenosine diphosphate, adenosine monophosphate and adenosine triphosphate is to see the "di" (means 2 phosphate groups), the "mono" (means 1 phosphate group) and the "tri" (means 3 phosphate groups).
receives a phosphate group
What uses light energy from the Sun and converts it to chemical energy for cell use?
Photosynthesis
Which type of pathway uses the energy released by catabolic pathways to build larger molecules from small molecules?
Anabolic pathways
Which law of Thermodynamics states, "Energy cannot be converted without the loss of usable energy."
The Second Law
Assuming there is less energy released the less phosphate groups there are; which energies are most used in energy reactions?
ATP and ADP
How can ADP and ATP be interchanged?
by the addition or removal of a phosphate group
What type of metabolic pathway is photosynthesis?
Anabolic
What effect do corresponding pathways have in an organism?
results a continual flow of energy
Which Law of Thermodynamics states, "If two systems are each in thermal equilibrium with a third system, then the two initial systems are in thermal equilibrium with each other."
The Zeroth Law
What biological molecule group does ATP belong to?
(proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and etc)
Nucleic Acid
How does adenosine diphosphate (ADP) become an adenosine monophosphate (AMP)?
losing a phosphate group
What type of metabolic pathway is cellular respiration?
