1. By: Gustavo Rendon MATTER AND ENERGY

2. WHAT IS MATTER? Matter is basically everything around you! Matter is anything that takes up space and has mass. It is anything that is made up of atoms and molecules.

3. FORMS OF ENERGY Energy has the ability to cause change or do work. Kinetic Energy Potential Energy Thermal or Heat Energy Chemical Energy Electrical Energy Electrochemical Energy Electromagnetic Energy Sound Energy Nuclear Energy

4. MATTER Matter is the material that everything in the universe is made of and all matter on Earth is made up of elements. The particle that has the unique chemical characteristics of an element is called an “atom.” Atoms are made up of protons, neutrons and electrons. Protons and neutrons make up the nucleus of an atom while the electrons are found outside the nucleus.

5. FORMING Elements with a positive or negative charge are called ions. Since positive and negative ions attract each other, this allows the bonding of atoms to occur, forming structures of matter that are larger than just one atom. And then when similar atoms bond together, they make molecules. Atoms of different elements joined together form compounds.

6. INORGANIC VS. ORGANIC The compounds and molecules in living systems are called organic, while molecules and compounds not made by living systems are inorganic. Organisms like autotrophs, usually create their own matter by consuming inorganic molecules and compounds from the lithosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere. An example is photosynthesizing plants.

7. INORGANIC VS. ORGANIC Organisms like heterotrophs, consume and assimilate other living things to create their own organic matter. Some examples are carnivores and herbivores.

8. ORGANISMS All organisms conserve and transform matter and energy. Food contains energy that organisms require for survival. When one organism is food for the other organism, energy in the prey is transferred to the predator. When humans eat fish, we get some energy from the fish. All living organisms require energy to survive or else they will die. An organism can get energy from the sun, these organisms are called producers. Organisms that get their energy from eating other organisms are called consumers.  Producers Consumers 

9. FOOD CHAINS A food chain is a perfect model to show how energy, in the form of food, is transferred from one organism to another. Here is a common food chain in life, 1.Plants get their energy from the sun. 2.The deer gets his energy from the plants. 3.The wolf gets his energy from the deer.

10. METABOLISM Metabolism is the chemical reactions involved in maintaining the living state of the cells, and thus the organism. This is how organisms get their energy to survive. In order for organisms to get energy and grow, they depend on their metabolism. An organisms metabolism consists of the food necessary to survive and gather energy. Metabolism is categorized in 2 categories.

11. METABOLISM Anabolism is the building up of things - a succession of chemical reactions that constructs or synthesizes molecules from smaller components, usually requiring energy in the process. Catabolism is the breaking down of things - a series of degradative chemical reactions that break down complex molecules into smaller units, and in most cases releasing energy in the process. So, in order for organisms to be able to live, they need a source of energy, and in order for there to be matter, energy is required.
