| 6.1 An Overview of Metabolism
| morris2e_ch6_2.html | 560c981a757a2ea708000000 |
| Organisms can be classified according to their energy and carbon sources.
| morris2e_ch6_3.html | 560c981a757a2ea708000000 |
| Metabolism is the set of chemical reactions that sustain life.

| 6.2 Kinetic and Potential Energy
| morris2e_ch6_5.html | 560c981a757a2ea708000000 |
| Kinetic energy and potential energy are two forms of energy.
| morris2e_ch6_6.html | 560c981a757a2ea708000000 |
| Chemical energy is a form of potential energy.
| morris2e_ch6_7.html | 560c981a757a2ea708000000 |
| ATP is a readily accessible form of cellular energy.

| 6.3 The Laws of Thermodynamics
| morris2e_ch6_9.html | 560c981a757a2ea708000000 |
| The first law of thermodynamics: Energy is conserved.
| morris2e_ch6_10.html | 560c981a757a2ea708000000 |
| The second law of thermodynamics: Energy transformations always result in an increase in disorder in the universe.
| morris2e_ch6_11.html | 560c981a757a2ea708000000 |
| A chemical reaction occurs when molecules interact.
| morris2e_ch6_13.html | 560c981a757a2ea708000000 |
| The laws of thermodynamics determine whether a chemical reaction requires or releases energy available to do work.
| morris2e_ch6_14.html | 560c981a757a2ea708000000 |
| The hydrolysis of ATP is an exergonic reaction.
| morris2e_ch6_15.html | 560c981a757a2ea708000000 |
| Non-spontaneous reactions are often coupled to spontaneous reactions.

| 6.5 Enzymes and the Rate of Chemical Reactions
| morris2e_ch6_17.html | 560c981a757a2ea708000000 |
| Enzymes reduce the activation energy of a chemical reaction.
| morris2e_ch6_18.html | 560c981a757a2ea708000000 |
| Enzymes form a complex with reactants and products.
| morris2e_ch6_19.html | 560c981a757a2ea708000000 |
| Enzymes are highly specific.
| morris2e_ch6_20.html | 560c981a757a2ea708000000 |
| Enzyme activity can be influenced by inhibitors and activators.
| morris2e_ch6_21.html | 560c981a757a2ea708000000 |
| Allosteric enzymes regulate key metabolic pathways.
