the energy that is stored in the bonds between atoms

a chemical reaction in which energy is released in the form of heat because the change in free energy is negative

a decrease in the oxidation state of an atom or molecule due to the gain of electrons

the form of in cell respiration that requires free oxygen

a chemical reaction resulting in the loss of electrons by a metal; for example, when iron rusts

a series of proteins in the mitochondrial membrane which transfer electrons to oxygen in a step-wise process which produces ATP

energy in the form of heat

the process that occurs when the chemical energy of "food" molecules, carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, is released and partially captured in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP)

a short-hand term for an oxidation-reduction reaction, a chemical reaction that involves the transfer of one or more electrons from one species to another

the study of effects of changes in temperature, pressure, and volume using statistics to analyze the collective motion of their particles

the amount of energy that is stored in an object; energy that an object has because of its position relative to other objects

the ability to do work or cause change; can be stored in chemicals found in food and released to the organism to do work
