Study Notes
Energy and Bioenergetics
- Living organisms use energy from external sources to bring about the synthesis of complex macromolecules from simple precursors.
- Bioenergetics is the study of the flow of energy through living organisms.
- The laws of thermodynamics govern biological energy transductions.
- Modern organisms use chemical energy (ATP) to convert into concentration gradients, electrical gradients, motion, and heat.
- The goals of the lesson are to understand how energy flows through living organisms and to understand the fundamental principles of bioenergetics.
