what is the role of energy
to power metabolic and other cellular reactions
What has more entropy
smaller molecules, spread out
what has less entropy
larger molecules, close together
What has more potiential energy
stable, slow moving molecules
what has less potiental energy
unstable fast moving molecules
what is the relationship between potientail energy and entropy
as potiential energy increase entropy decreases
as poteintal energy decrease entropy decreases
What process allow orgnaisms to access storted energy from macromolecules
celluar respirations and fermentatiion
what is cellular resperation
the synthesis of ATP
What are the stages of ATP synthesis
glyclosis, link reaction, kerbs cycle, oxidative phoosphorylation
which stages are anerabic
glyclosis
which stages are aerobic
link reaction, krebs cycle, oxidative phorylation
at which phases is NADH produced
glycolsis, link reaction, krebs cycle
at which phases is FADH produced
krebs cycle
at which phases is ATP produced
all (most in oxidative phosphorlyation
what is fermentation
synthesis of ATP without oxygen
how does ATP becoming usable
by converting it to ADP through breaking of one phosphate head
How does variation in molecules affect survival/reproduction
increase molecule variation increarses ability to survive changes therefore promoting adaptation
