1 Conservation of Energy Energy is defined as the capacity to cause change. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. Potential energy is stored energy. It is energy that an object has because of its –location or –structure.

3 Conservation of Energy –Energy cannot be created or destroyed. –Energy can be converted from one form to another. Conservation of Energy © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

4 Entropy Every energy conversion releases some energy in the form of heat. Energy conversions, therefore, are not 100% efficient. This inefficiency increases the “entropy,” or “disorder” of the universe. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

5 Chemical Energy Molecules store potential energy in the covalent bonds between their atoms. Organic (carbon-containing) compounds are relatively rich in such chemical energy. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

6 Chemical Energy Chemical energy can be released in a chemical reaction, often by breaking covalent bonds. Living cells and automobile engines use the same basic process to make chemical energy do work. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

8 Cellular respiration is –the process of breaking bonds in glucose and other nutrient molecules in order to… –Convert the energy stored in those bonds to a form the cell can use to perform work (ATP). Chemical Energy © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

9 Humans convert about 34% of the energy in food to useful work, such as the contraction of muscles. About 66% of the energy released by the breakdown of fuel molecules generates body heat. Chemical Energy © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

10 Food Calories A calorie is the amount of energy that can raise the temperature of one gram of water by 1 degree Celsius. Food Calories are kilocalories, equal to 1,000 calories. The energy of calories in food is utilized to fuel many daily activities. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

11 ATP AND CELLULAR WORK Chemical energy is –released by the breakdown of organic molecules during cellular respiration and –used to generate molecules of ATP. ATP –acts like an energy shuttle, –stores energy obtained from food, and –releases it later as needed. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

12 The Structure of ATP ATP (adenosine triphosphate) –Consists of: –Adenine (a nitrogenous base) –Ribose sugar –3 Phosphate Groups –When ATP is broken down to ADP and a phosphate group (P), energy is released. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
