Metabolism Crossword Puzzle

QUESTIONS LIST:

• exergonic : proceeds with a net release of free energy and is spontaneous
• first : law of thermodynamics: energy of the universe is constant
• catabolic : release energy by breaking down complex molecules into simpler compounds
• metabolism : totality of an organism’s chemical reactions
• endergonic : absorbs free energy from its surroundings and is nonspontaneous
• entropy : measure of molecular disorder, or randomness
• energy coupling : the use of an exergonic process to drive an endergonic one
• delta g : change in free energy
• transport : work performed by the cell pumping substances across the membrane
• hydrolysis : process by which bonds are broken between the phosphate groups of atp
• chemical : work performed by the cell pushing endergonic reactions
• mechanical : work performed b the cell such as a muscle contraction
• anabolic : consume energy to build complex molecules from simpler ones
• second : _ law of thermodynamics - every energy transfer or transformation increases the entropy of the universe
• thermal : kinetic energy associated with random movement of atoms or molecules
• atp : cell's energy source
• spontaneous : process that can occur without energy input; they can happen quickly or slowly
• bio energetic : how energy flows through living organisms
• regeneration : adp to atp
• potential : energy that matter possesses because of its location or structure
• kinetic : energy associated with motion
• three : number of phosphate groups on atp molecules
• heat : thermal energy in transfer between objects
