Physical Chemistry

Correct answer: The application of physical principles and measurements to understand
the properties of biological matter, as well as the development of new technologies for the
biological sciences.



Energy

Correct answer: The capacity to do work, measure in Joules J.



Total Internal Energy

Correct answer: U, the sum of the amount of energy in a system available as work or heat.



Thermodynamics

Correct answer: The transformation of energy, the relationship between energy and heat
and the availability of energy to do work.



First Law of Thermodynamics

Correct answer: The total energy of an isolated system is constant - energy cannot be
created or destroyed.



Second Law of Thermodynamics

Correct answer: In an isolated system entropy can only increase.



Kinetic Energy

Correct answer: The energy a system has due to motion.
