- What two main facts is biology based on?
- Life follow the laws of physics and chemsitry, all biological processes are a result of evolution.
- What is the third dimention of biology?
- The study of the history of all of these genes, species and ecosystems.
- Adaptation:
- Morphological, Biochemical, Physiological
- Enthalphy
- total potential energy of a system. Heat of a reaction. (ΔH)
- Anabolism
- Complex molecules synthesized from simpler substances.
- Catabolism
- Larger molecules broken down into smaller ones.
- Organisms are open or closed systems?
- Open, closed systems do not exchange energy with its surroundings.
- Metabolism
- Sum of all chemical activities taking place in an organism, sub-divided into anabolism and catabolism.
- ATP
- Adnosine triphospate. -base, sugar, 3 phosphates
- H = G + TS
- H is enthalpy G is free energy S is entropy T is absolute temprature
- Gibbs free energy
- Energy available to do work Depends on Enthalpy and Entropy
- Entropy
- Disorder of a reaction.
- Exergonic reaction
- Releases energy that can perform work
- Endergonic reaction
- increases free energy
- Substances that become oxidized...
- give up energy.
- Substances that become reduced
- recieve energy.
- Oxidizing Agent
- any molectule capable of accepting electrons
