Figure 4.5 Energy inputs and outputs in chemical reactions. 1 Some reactions convert molecules with lower energy to molecules with higher energy, so they require a net energy input in order to proceed. 2 Other reactions convert molecules with higher energy to molecules with lower energy, so they end with an energy release Figure It Out: Which law of thermodynamics explains energy inputs and outputs in chemical reactions?
Which of the following comparisons or contrasts between endergonic and exergonic reactions is false? Endergonic reactions have a positive ?G and exergonic reactions have a negative ?G Endergonic reactions consume energy and exergonic reactions release energy Both endergonic and exergonic reactions require a small amount of energy to overcome an activation barrier Endergonic reactions take place slowly and exergonic reactions take place quickly.

Jogging is considered aerobic exercise because the cardiovascular system (heart and blood vessels) can adjust to supply the oxygen needs of working cells. In contrast, sprinting the 100-meter dash might be called anaerobic (lacking oxygen) exercise, and golf nonaerobic exercise. Explain these last two observations.
Understanding Human Energy Consumption During Exercise Energy production in animals is related to oxygen consumption. The ruby-throated hummingbird consumes about 250 mL of oxygen per hour during its migration across the Gulf of Mexico. Use this number and the data in problem 11 to determine a conversion factor for energy expended per liter of oxygen consumed. If a human being consumes 12.7 kcal/min while running 8-minute miles, how long could a human run on the energy that the hummingbird consumes in its trans-Gulf flight? How many 8-minute miles would a person have to run to lose 1 pound of body fat?
