What is a average measure of kinetic energy?
Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles such as the molecules in a gas or a liquid.
What is the measure of kinetic energy of a substances molecules?
temperature is the measure of the average kinetic energy of a substances molecules, though energy is in joules and temperature is in Kelvin.
What is an organic compound called called that is used to store energy and forms important parts of biological membranes?
Lipids are insoluble in water and found in biological membranes.
Which term is defined as a measure of the energy of motion of particles in a substance?
Heat is a measure of the amount of energy due to the motion of the particles in a gas, liquid, or solid. Temperature is a measure of the average amount of heat energy in a given body.
What is the temperature is a measure of the average?
kenetic energy :)
What is the importance of enzymes to biological systems?
Enzymes decrease the amount of activation energy required for chemical reactions to occur.
What is the value equal to the enthalpy minus temperature times entropy?
free energy. this is gibbs free energy in biological systems
The rem is a unit used to measure?
Radiation dose in terms of the amount of the biological effect caused by the amount of energy absorbed
What is biological energy transducers?
transforms one mode of energy to another.this is the fundamental physical basis of the sensory response of most biological systems to their environments.during oxidative phosphorylation conversion of chemical energy to muscle contraction and relaxation
What is Bio-energetics theory?
Bioenergetics; it is the qualitative study of energy relationships and energy conversions in biological systems . Example; .respiration in mitochondria
What is the scientific study of energy?
The scientific study of energy is known as energetics. Energetics involves the study of energy transfer, energy conversion, and the principles governing these processes in various systems, such as biological, chemical, and physical systems.
Measure of the average kinetic energy of the atoms in an object?
The temperature of an object is the most common measure of the average kinetic energy of the object.
A measure of a systems ability to change or create change in another system?
energy
Organic compounds that serve as energy molecules in biological systems?
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) acts as an energy storage and transportation molecule within the bodies of mammals. It dissociates into adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and phosphate when this energy is released.
What is the definition of open system in thermodynamics?
Biological systems are open systems, not closed systems. Open systems require the input of energy to run and produce certain products such as materials used for cellular building, building blocks of the human body, and of course heat. No biological system can be totally closed, considering that they all get energy directly (in the case of plants) or indirectly (in the case of herbivores and eventually carnivores as you move up the food chain).
What type of molecule is made from amino acids and acts as a biological catalyst?
Molecules that act as catalysts in biological systems are enzymes. Enzyme catalyze chemical reactions by lowering the activation energy.
What acts as a catalyst in biochemical reactions?
Biochemical reactions are the reactions taking place in the Biological systems. The biological systems contains proteins whose one of the main functions is to catalyse the reactions. The proteins involved in such type of reactions are called as an enzyme. The enzymes catalyse the reactions by lowering the activation energy (energy required to attain the transition state) and helps in the conversion of substrate into the required product.
