ENERGY Physiology Function:worklive -grows(mitosis) -reproduce(meiosis+fertilization) -metabolism(photosynthesis and respiration) -inheritance(generation) Definition of Energy 2 Laws of Energy: 1.Conservation of Energy- energy is neither created nor destroyed, only transformed(1st law) *forms of energy: solar, potential, mechanical 2.Entropy- during the transformation of energy, some energy become disordered & becomes heat(2nd law) *heat: ?disordered energy? Coupled Reactions and Chemical Bonds *?coupled?: with partner *coupled reactions= redox reactions 1.Reduction- gains electrons -creates chemical bond -stores energy in molecule -Photosynthesis(anabolic) 2.Oxidation-loses electrons

Molecule Main article: Molecule A molecule is the smallest indivisible portion of a pure chemical substance that has its unique set of chemical properties, that is, its potential to undergo a certain set of chemical reactions with other substances. Molecules can exist as electrically neutral units unlike ions. Molecules are typically a set of atoms bound together by covalent bonds, such that the structure is electrically neutral and all valence electrons are paired with other electrons either in bonds or in lone pairs.

Elements and Compounds Distinguish between an element and a compound. Identify the four elements that make up 96% of living matter. Define the term trace element and give an example. Atoms and Molecules Draw and label a simplified model of an atom. Explain how this model simplifies our understanding of atomic structure. Distinguish between each of the following pairs of terms: neutron and proton atomic number and mass number atomic weight and mass number Explain how the atomic number and mass number of an atom can be used to determine the number of neutrons. Explain how two isotopes of an element are similar. Explain how they are different. Describe two biological applications that use radioactive isotopes.
