CHEM 301 - Unit 6 Review/CHEM 301 - Unit 6 Review. Unit 6 Learning Objectives 1. Explain the meaning of the term “metabolic pathway.” Metabolic pathway = tightly regulated, interconnected set of biochemical reactions in which some chemicals (nutrients) are used up and other chemicals are produced 2. List the principle characteristics of metabolic pathways and explain the purpose of each of the two major types of pathways. Characteristics: - Degradative (catabolism) or synthetic (anab...

CHEM 103 MODULE 3 NOTES. 3.1: THERMOCHEMISTRY Thermodynamics is the study of the relationship between heat and other forms of energy, particularly mechanical work. Thermochemistry is the part of thermodynamics that deals with the quantity of heat given off or absorbed during a chemical reaction. The quantity of heat given off or absorbed during a physical change or temperature change can also be studied, and we will refer to this process as calorimetry. In order to adequately discuss thermoch...
