Chapter 5 Assignment 1. What is energy? What are the three forms of energy? Energy is the capacity to do work. There are four types of energy according to the powerpoint. They are Kinetic energy (energy of motion)‚ potential energy (stored energy)‚ thermal energy (heat)‚ and chemical energy (potential energy of molecules). 2. State the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics. Include entropy in your explanation. The first law states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed it can

1. In the following reaction‚ which of the following is an example of a substrate? Lactase Lactose → Glucose + Galactose a. Lactose 2. During photosynthesis‚ plants use light energy to synthesize glucose from carbon dioxide. However‚ plants do not use up energy during photosynthesis; they merely convert it from light energy to chemical energy. This is an illustration of: a. The first law of thermodynamics 3. Which would be an example of catalyst in action? a. A protein converting glucose

energy that we‚ and all other organisms‚ need to survive. It is produced primarily in the processes of aerobic and anaerobic respiration by oxidative and substrate phosphorylation. 4 molecules of ATP are produced from 4 ADP and 4 inorganic phosphates in glycolysis in the cytoplasm of every cell‚ by the oxidation of a triose phosphate into two molecules of pyruvate. In anaerobic respiration these are the only 4 ATP molecules produced per molecule of glucose as there is no oxygen available for

Seven characteristics of life In life‚ there are seven different characteristics these being; movement‚ excretion‚ respiration‚ reproduction‚ irritability‚ nutrition and growth. Below‚ I will explain each of the characteristics in detail. Reproduction means; “the production of offspring by a sexual or asexual process” (oxford concise colour medical dictionary‚ 2007). Animals and plants do this in different ways‚ animals need two parents‚ and therefore the offspring will share both of the parent’s

1. Explain how photosynthesis and respiration are linked in order to provide you with energy from the food you eat. To start off with we will need to define photosynthesis and respiration. Photosynthesis is a process in which carbon dioxide‚ water‚ and certain inorganic salts are converted into carbohydrates by green plants‚ algae and certain bacteria using energy from the sun and chlorophyll (dictionary.com). Respiration is all of the physical and chemical processes in an organism by which oxygen

Chapter 1 Revision Questions 1) List three abiotic characteristics and briefly describe the main differences between aquatic and terrestrial environments. Abiotic characteristics are: Temperature‚ Pressure and Light Availability. The differences between aquatic and terrestrial environments are: Small temperature changes occur in aquatic environments while large temperature changes occur in terrestrial environments. As the depth of water increases‚ pressure increases in aquatic environments while

study the rate of aerobic cellular respiration in aquatic organisms which are Elodea (aquatic plant)‚ Snail‚ and Goldfish‚ by measuring carbon dioxide production. Because ectothermic organisms (Elodea‚ snail‚ and goldfish) were placed in completely covered beaker‚ each organism would produce different amount of carbon dioxide. The objective of the experiment is to measure carbon dioxide production in three aquatic organisms‚ and to determine and compare the rate of cellular respiration in each organism

choosing the appropriate terms. To maintain life‚ organisms must be able to convert energy from one form to another. For example‚ in the process of photosynthesis‚ algae‚ plants‚ and photosynthetic prokaryotes use the energy from sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water to glucose and oxygen (a waste product). The summary reaction for photosynthesis can be written as 6 CO2 6 H2O C6H12O6 6 O2 This type of reaction is an oxidation-reduction (or redox) reaction. This reaction is also [anabolic/catabolic]
