Energy

Energy is vital for

• Cellular Respiration
• Storage of Energy
• Photosynthesis
• Active Transport

Chemical Reactions

• Exothermic reactions release energy.
• Endothermic reactions require energy to occur.
• Kinetic energy or potential energy are direct products.
• Chemical Evolution: the leading theory to the origin of life.
• C.E.>Molecules binding together to form complex compounds.

Photosynthesis

• Is the process of converting light energy to chemical energy
• Chemical reaction :6CO2 + 6H2O (+ light energy) → C6H12O6 + 6O2
• The two reactions that occur are light dependent and light independent
• It's main objective is to produce Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)

Cellular Respiration

• Cellular respiration provides energy for living organisms.
• Necessary function to maintain life
•  Our ability to think, walk, and talk require enormous amounts of energy. 
• It is provided by aerobic respiration, Kreb's cycle, and ETC.

Active Transport
-Cells use energy to transport from low to high concentration.
-In order to maintain proper balance of ions and molecules.

-Proteins play a big role in active transport.
-Proteins are pumping ions in & out in order to prepare the membrane to transmit electric impulses.
