obtaining energy

• Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred from one form to another.
• thermodynamics is the study of flow of energy from one form to another
• the first law is that energy cannot be created but converted from one form to another
• second law is that by conversion of energy from one form to another, the losing of energy occurs
• in plants there is photosynthesis
• in animals or human there is cellular respiration
• anabolic pathway absorbs the released energy
• catabolic pathway releases energy
• ATP vapor is the energy carrier in the body
• ATP is adenisine triphosphate
• ADP is adenisine diphosphate
• active transport is the movement of matter against concentration and it requires energy
• metabolism


  series of chemical reactions to get energy
• chemosynthesis


  process by which chemical energy is used instead of light energy to make food (ENERGY STORING CARBON BASED MOLECULES)
• describe the role of ATP in organisms

  provides energy needed for processes in organisms
• photosynthesis makes glucose which is used in cellular respiration to make ATP
