matter’s physical structure
• E.g., running, synthesis
• Energy—ability to do work
• Kinetic energy
• Potential energy
Copyright © 2007 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings

pieces into larger one

between molecules

Key Note
When energy is exchanged,
heat is produced. Heat raises
local temperatures, but cells
cannot capture it or use it to
perform work.
