Slide 2:

There are many forms of energy, not all are light. Ex: mechanical, chemical,
thermal, nuclear.
Without energy, you do not function.
Energy comes from the sun. Where have they seen this before?

Slide 4:
Remember, energy is stored in the bonds of the compounds.
Reactants are also called raw materials They need to know this term.
Have them tell you the reactants and products of the above equation.
Slide 6:
Ask the kids what they know about metabolism.
Then show the notes.
Metabolism is the sum of all chemical reactions in your body it is what
allows you to function.
Breaking down foods for energy breaking the bonds in the compounds
Building new compounds to make you carbs, lipids, proteins
You are what you eat because the food you eat is broken down and the
products are then used to make new compounds. Ex:Hot dog for lunch, body
breaks it into monomers (ask them what this term is), then rebuilds the
monomers into you. So you are nothing more than recycled hot dog parts!
Slide 7:
Activation Energy: energy required to get a reaction started
Point out the high amount of energy needed with reaction in graph.
The activation energy on the graph comes in when you click the mouse the
purpose is to get the answer from them first. Remember enzyme demo
Slide 9:
Ask question before notes.
A catalyst is anything that lowers activation energy
They can be organic or inorganic - living or non-living
Organic catalysts are called enzymes
Slide 16:
Adenosine Triphosphate three phosphates, and as energy is released a
phosphate is broken off. As energy is stored, a phosphate is added.
