The breakdown of food items into smaller molecules is termed maintain order is the sum of all chemical reactions needed for survival and growth. 5. Biological order is made possible by the release of from cells 6. is the measure of a system's disorder in sunlight is converted into chemical bond energy within cells. (controlled burning). 8. 9. 10, Plants and animals extract energy from food by and are thought to contain half of the carbon stored in living cells. involves the addition of electrons. 12. The number of bonds can be used to determine if a molecule is being oxidized or reduced. 13. Enzymes 4. Enzymes have unique shapes containing 5. A 6. Cells avoid reaching the energy barriers that prevent chemical reactions from occurring where particular substrates bind. will only occur when AG is negative. because of the constant exchange of materials with the environment. is an indication of how specific the interaction in between molecules. The measure of the concentration of substrate needed for an enzyme to work efficiently is known as The energy from oxidation of food is stored as chemical bond energy in The of ATP is often transferred to another molecule.

Explanation / Answer

Ans 1 : disorder

Though universe tends to move towards a state of disorder, living things maintain order.

This is in accordance with the second law of thermodynamics , which states that the entropy of a closed system always tends to increase. So the chaos increases in universe , but the living beings maintain their entropy.
