All living and non living things are made of
Matter
Matter
Anything that occupies space and has mass
Types of matter
Liquid, solids and gas
Difference between mass and weight
Mass is the amount of matter an object contains
Weight is the measure of the force of gravity on mass
Mass is the same everywhere
Weight varies
What is energy
The capacity to do work
What types of energy are there
Potential and kinetic
What is potential energy
Stored or inactive energy
Kinetic energy
Energy of motion
Forms of energy
Chemical energy
Electrical energy
Mechanical
Radiant
Chemical energy
The making or breaking of chemical bonds
Electrical energy
The movement of charged particles
Mechanical energy
Movement of matter
Radiant energy
Light or other electromagnetic radiation
Synthesis
Synthesis is a type of reaction where you’re taking something small and putting it into a bigger complex molecule
So you use energy to build it
It’s an anabolic reaction
Decomposition is what kind of reaction
Catabolic reaction, where you’re taking something big and breaking it down.
Energy is always released
Chemical reactions are
The formation, rearrangement or breaking of bonds
Types of chemical reactions
Synthesis
Decomposition
A+B -> C
Chemical reaction
A+B are reactants
C is the product
In decomposition is released energy always used for another purpose?
No
Glycogen into glucose molecules is an example of
Decomposition
Catabolic reaction
Amino acids join to form a protein molecule what is this
Synthesis
Anabolic reaction
Bonds contain
Energy
When you break bonds you
Release energy
When you break molecules and give off energy what also is created in your body
Heat
