Reversible reaction - ANSWER--when the rate of product
formation is equal to the rate of reactant formation, the
reaction is at equilibrium.
Reactions that use water to split molecules apart -
ANSWER--are called hydrolysis reactions.
Cyanide compounds - ANSWER--are lethal to humans
because they interfere with the production of ATP.
,Potential energy - ANSWER--Energy stored in bonds of
molecules.
Chemical energy - ANSWER--A form of potential energy
within chemical bonds.
Reaction energy requirement - ANSWER--If the potential
energy in the chemical bonds of the reactants is greater
than the potential energy in the chemical bonds of the
product, energy must be supplied for the reaction to occur.
Energy stored in ATP - ANSWER--A form of chemical
energy.
,Potential energy definition - ANSWER--Stored energy that
could do work but is not doing so.
Kinetic energy definition - ANSWER--The form of energy
that actually does work.
Heat energy definition - ANSWER--Energy that flows
between objects with different temperatures.
Activation energy - ANSWER--The minimum amount of
energy that reactants must have to start a chemical
reaction.
, Energy conversion efficiency - ANSWER--The conversion
between different states of energy (e.g. potential energy to
kinetic energy) is not 100% efficient and typically
generates heat.
Chemical reaction products - ANSWER--If the products of
a chemical reaction contain less potential energy than the
reactants, energy has been released by the breaking of
molecular bonds.
Enzymes - ANSWER--Proteins that increase the rate of
chemical reactions by decreasing the activation energy of
the reaction.
