Describe how conservation of energy relates to the first law of thermodynamics.
Identify instances of the first law of thermodynamics working in everyday situations, including biological metabolism.
Calculate changes in the internal energy of a system, after accounting for heat transfer and work done.
The information presented in this section supports the following AP® learning objectives and science practices:
4.C.3.1 The student is able to make predictions about the direction of energy transfer due to temperature differences based on interactions at the microscopic level.
(S.P. 6.1)
5.B.4.1 The student is able to describe and make predictions about the internal energy of systems.
(S.P. 6.4, 7.2)
5.B.7.1 The student is able to predict qualitative changes in the internal energy of a thermodynamic system involving transfer of energy due to heat or work done and justify those predictions in terms of conservation of energy principles.
(S.P. 6.4, 7.2)
If we are interested in how heat transfer is converted into doing work, then the conservation of energy principle is important. The first law of thermodynamics applies the conservation of energy principle to systems where heat transfer and doing work are the methods of transferring energy into and out of the system. The
first law of thermodynamics states that the change in internal energy of a system equals the net heat transfer
into the system minus the net work done
by the system. In equation form, the first law of thermodynamics is
Here

change in internal energy
of the system.
is the
net heat transferred into the system —that is,
is the sum of all heat transfer into and out of the system.
is the
net work done by the system —that is,
is the sum of all work done on or by the system. We use the following sign conventions: if
is positive, then there is a net heat transfer into the system; if
is positive, then there is net work done by the system. So positive
adds energy to the system and positive
takes energy from the system. Thus
. Note also that if more heat transfer into the system occurs than work done, the difference is stored as internal energy. Heat engines are a good example of this—heat transfer into them takes place so that they can do work. (See

The lymphatic system plays several crucial roles in the human body, functioning as a key component of the immune system and contributing to the maintenance of fluid balance. Its main functions include:
1. Immune Response: The lymphatic system produces and transports lymphocytes, which are a type of
asegid
to transport fluids fats proteins and lymphocytes to the blood stream as lymph
Anatomy is the study of the structure of the body, while physiology is the study of the function of the body. Anatomy looks at the body's organs and systems, while physiology looks at how those organs and systems work together to keep the body functioning.
Enzymes are proteins that help speed up chemical reactions in our bodies. Enzymes are essential for digestion, liver function and much more. Too much or too little of a certain enzyme can cause health problems

the normal temperature is 37°c or 98.6 °Fahrenheit is important for maintaining the homeostasis in the body
the body regular this temperature through the process called thermoregulation which involves brain skin muscle and other organ working together to maintain stable internal temperature
