what kind of energy is required to activate a reaction?
activation energy
what kind of reaction needs a big amount of activation energy?
exothermic reaction
living things depending on energy's tendency to disperse
entropy
a uniform mixture
solution
the process by which one substance is broken up into smaller pieces, usually by ions, by another substance (water)
dissolving
a substance that dissolves in water to form hydrogen ions
acid
a substance that dissolves in water to form hydroxide ions
base
the dispersion of substances through brownian motion
diffusion
what we began with
reactants
what we ended up with
products
a class of catalysts that naturally occurs on living things
enzymes
The ability to do work or cause change
energy
energy of motion
kinetic energy
stored energy
potential energy
first law of thermodynamics (law of conservation of energy)
Energy cannot be created or destroyed
second law of thermodynamics
Whenever energy is used some of it is rendered unusable
surface of the enzyme
Active site
The molecule that the enzyme will bind with
substrate
Attraction between molecules of the same substance
cohesion
One of the forces that draws water move through the vessels of its stems and leaves
adhesion
A molecule with charged poles is said to be
Polar molecule
Difference between the numbers of one type of molecule in two adjacent areas
concentration gradient
A barrier that allows passage of all molecules
permeable
They will permit the water molecules to pass through but will not permit the larger molasses to pass through
Semipermeable membrane
diffusion of water molecules through a semipermeable membrane
osmosis
