Completion Complete each sentence or statement. 11. Redox reactions involve the transfer of one or more electrons from one reactant to another. The process of losing electrons is called _________________________ and the process of gaining electrons is called _________________________. In a redox reaction the substance that provides the electron is called the _________________________ agent and the substance that takes the electron is called the _________________________ agent. In some cases, a series of redox reactions occur in which the product of one redox reaction is the reactant of the next in the series. This is illustrated by the ______________________________ chains in photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Redox can also be shown by the partial transfer of electrons from one atom to another whereby electrons in a covalent bond move close to a more electronegative atom; _________________________ reactions are an example of this. 12. Living organism must continually capture, store, and use energy (defined as the ability to do work) to carry out the functions of life. There are a large number of biochemical reactions that occur in the body that involve energy transformations. There are reactions that are involved in making more complex molecules out of simpler ones, these are called (1) ______________________________ reactions. There are reactions that are involved in making simple molecules out of more complex ones, these are called (2) ______________________________ reactions. The sum of (1) and (2) is collectively called ______________________________. There are many forms of energy but one that is important in considering biochemical reactions is ______________________________ energy which is a measure of the stability of a covalent bond. The higher this number is the more ______________________________ the bond is. A ______________________________ shows the changes in potential energy that take place during a chemical reaction. The amount of energy needed to strain and break the reactants' bonds is called the (3) ______________________________. If the energy mentioned in (3) is provided, the reactants will reach the ______________________________ state. If the bonds in products are more stable than those in the reactants, more energy is ______________________________ during bond formation than was absorbed during bond breaking. This type of reaction is called an ______________________________ reaction.

13. From a thermodynamics point of view, biochemical reactions can be classified as either exothermic (energy is released during the course of the reaction), or endothermic (energy is absorbed during the course of the reaction). The overall change in energy that occurs in a chemical reaction is called the heat or (1) _________________________ of reaction and is symbolized by _________________________. The value for this is _________________________ for endothermic reactions and _________________________ for exothermic reactions. In determining whether a chemical reaction will take place or not only does the quantity mentioned in (1) have to be taken into account but also a physical property called entropy which is a measure of the _________________________ or disorder in a collection of objects. In chemical reactions, entropy increases when, for example: solid reactants become _________________________ or _________________________ products liquid reactants become _________________________ products. Exothermic reactions that involve an increase in entropy _________________________ spontaneously. Endothermic reactions involving a decrease in entropy _________________________ spontaneously.
