Question

Living organisms increase in complexity as they grow, resulting in a decrease in the entropy of an organism. How does this relate to the second law of thermodynamics? As a consequence of growing, organisms cause a greater increase in entropy in their environment than the decrease in entropy associated with their growth Living organisms do not obey the second law of thermodynamics, which states that entropy must increase with time. Living organisms do not follow the laws of thermodynamics. Living organisms are able to transform energy into entropy. Which of the following tend(s) to release energy? endergonic reactions formation of water from hydrogen and hydroxyl ions hydrolysis reactions dehydration reactions The following question(s) are based on the reaction A + B doubleheadarrow C + D shown in Figure 6.4 Which of the following best describes the forward reaction in Figure 64? endergonic, Delta G 0 endergonic, Delta G > 0 exergonic, Delta G

Explanation / Answer

31. The first option is correct because according to second law of thermodynamics some amount of energy is wasted as heat into the environment.

32. Hydrolysis releases energy as breaking of ATP molecule is caused by hydrolysis.

34. The reaction is called endergonic.

35.option C. Hydrolysis causes ATP molecule to break down releasing energy.
