Kavya Immanni Mrs.Rothfuss Honors Biology I / 3B 2, February 2017 5:1 Energy and the World of Life Notes I. Energy Disperses A. First law of thermodynamics:? Energy cannot be created or destroyed B. Energy can be converted into different forms C. Potential energy:? capacity to cause change because of where an object is located or how parts are arranged 1. Example: ATP has P.E. because of the chemical bonds that hold its atoms in certain arrangements. In muscle cells, the chemical energy of ATP is transferred to myosin. ATP is converted to kinetic energy D. Kinetic Energy: ?energy of motion E. Energy tends to disperse spontaneously, each form of energy disperses until no part of a system holds more energy than it
