Summary Introduction

To explain: The kinetic and potential energy in the penguins jump that are jumping into water, the energy conversions when the penguins climb back on the glacier after eating fishes, and the role of enzymes and ATP in the metabolic pathway.

Introduction: The penguins jump from the glacier into the ocean to catch fish. The potential energy conserved in their body, due to the height of the glacier is converted into the kinetic energy of motion. This is according to the law of conservation of energy.

Explain what is happening in this photo in terms of kineticenergy and potential energy. Include the energy conversionsthat occur when the penguins eat fish and climb back upon the glacier. Describe the role of ATP and enzymes in theunderlying molecular processes, including what happens tothe free energy of some of the molecules involved.
1) Define metabolism and describe the importance of metabolism to life. 2) Calculate the change in free energy (∆G ) for the below reaction and answer the two follow up questions: Gfinal state = 3.4 kcal/ mol and Ginitial state = 10.7 kcal/ mol Recall: ∆G = Gfinal state – Ginitial state a. Is this a spontaneous or non-spontaneous reaction? Explain. b. Is there energy released from this reaction which can be used to do work? Explain. 2) List four conditions which impact an enzymes rate of activity. Explain.
General Biology 1 Explain the answers to A and B in great length (a couple of medium to long paragraphs). Give a coherent and relevant answer. A. What are the two forms of Energy? Give examples on each form. Hint: Mechanical energy, chemical energy, and electrical energy. B. Summarize the Laws of Thermodynamics.
