Is the bolded statement TRUE or FALSE? Entropy, enthalpy, and free energy are concepts directly related to the laws of thermodynamics as discussed in class. Given this classify the following statements as true or false. 16. 100% of the free energy hydrolyzed in muscle contraction can be stored in the gravitational potential energy of an object the muscles lift in accordance with the 1st and 2nd law of thermodynamics. 17. Breaking of covalent bonds releases energy, as seen in ATP hydrolysis. 18. Spontaneous formation of a solid (from a liquid) is an example of an entropically driven process.
