    Study Notes

    Definition of Chemistry

    • Chemistry is the branch of science that studies the composition, structure, properties, and changes of matter.
    • It involves understanding the interactions and transformations that occur among various substances.

    Chemical Reaction

    • A chemical reaction is a process in which substances (reactants) undergo a transformation to form new substances (products).
    • This process involves the breaking of chemical bonds and the formation of new ones, often accompanied by energy changes.

    Metabolism Categories

    • Catabolism is the category of metabolism that involves breaking down molecules to obtain energy.
    • It includes processes like glycolysis and the Krebs cycle, which convert complex molecules into simpler ones, releasing energy.

    Purpose of Metabolism

    • The main purpose of metabolism is to convert food into energy and building blocks for growth, repair, and maintenance of cells.
    • It encompasses both catabolic and anabolic processes, ensuring the body functions properly and efficiently.

    Mixtures in Chemistry

    • A mixture is a combination of two or more substances that retain their individual properties and can be separated by physical means.
    • Mixtures can be homogeneous (uniform composition) or heterogeneous (distinct, separate components).
