To determine:
The effect that can happen to energy according to the first and the second laws of
Introduction:
Energy is that physical identity that cannot be seen but it is present and can be felt. Without energy, nothing is possible to exist in this world. It is the most basic requirement of everything organism. It provides the capability to do work. It is totally different from

Life is sometimes described as a constant struggle against the second law of thermodynamics. How do organisms succeed in this struggle?
Why the endergonic reactions are thermodynamically unfavorable?Although endergonic reactions are thermodynamically unfavorable, yet many such reactions occur in the human body. Suppose the human body is an isolated system. Then how those reactions can be carried out in the human body?

- EVOLUTION LINK Some have argued that evolution is impossible because the second law of thermodynamics states that entropy always increases; therefore natural processes cannot give rise to greater complexity. In what ways is this statement a misunderstanding of the laws of thermodynamics?arrow_forwardThe first and second laws of thermodynamics are useful for biochemists who investigate chemical reactions in living organisms. Explain why the third law is not useful.arrow_forwardBased on the laws of thermodynamics, energy is never created. Where does a cell get the energy to create ATP?arrow_forward
- Can the thermodynamic property Δ G° be used to predict the speed of a reaction in a living organism? Why or why not?arrow_forwardHow do we get energy from the food we eat? Is this an exergonic or endergonic process? Why? How do the first and second laws of thermodynamics play a role in this process? Why is it important to have energy transferred from the food you eat to ATP?arrow_forwardDiscuss the following statement: “enzymes and heat are alike in that both can speed up reactions that—although thermodynamically feasible—do not occur at an appreciable rate because they require a high activation energy. diseases that seem to benefit from the careful application of heat—in the form of hot chicken soup, for example—are therefore likely to be due to the insufficient function of an enzyme.”arrow_forward
- 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?arrow_forwardWhich is not true regarding the 1st Law of Thermodynamics? Energy cannot be destroyed.

- Which of the following statement about the enzyme thermodynamics is TRUE? a. Enzymes increase the activation barrier (∆G cat) of the products b. Enzymes decrease the activation barrier (∆G cat) of the products c. Enzymes decrease the free energy (∆G) of the products d. Enzymes decrease the free energy (∆G) of the reactants e. Enzymes increase the activation barrier (∆G cat) of the reactantsarrow_forwardPlease choose the correct letter . and explain a bit why you choose it According to the second law of thermodynamics, a. energy will not be destroyed b. energy will not be created c. potential energy will always increase d. entropy will always increase e. both a and b are correct 2. In one of the reactions of the citric acid cycle, malate is oxidized to oxaloacetate. When this reaction is considered in isolation, a small amount of malate remains and is not oxidized. The best term to explain this is a. enthalpy b. entropy c. equilibrium d. free energy e. loss of energyarrow_forwardWithin biological systems, there are always reactions that seem to occur when thermodynamically, they should not. An example is in the process of glycolysis (the conversion of glucose to pyruvate) which has ΔG°' = 2183.6 kJ/mol. How is glycolysis possible with such a large, positive ΔG°', when cells are governed by the laws of thermodynamics?arrow_forward
