Catabolic Reactions -These types of reactions break down large molecules into smaller ones. These reactions release energy. Anabolic Reactions -These types of reactions build large molecules from smaller components. These reactions consume energy. ATP-The main form of cellular energy. These molecules have a structure that is easy to form and easy to break to access the stored energy. Entropy - A measure of the disorder of a system. The amount of free energy lost to the environment is an example Polarity - Uneven distribution of charges across a molecule. Hydrogen Bonding - Attraction between positive charge on a hydrogen in a dipole and the negative end of another molecule. Think water! Adhesion - The attraction of a water molecule to another substance
