Which equation is an expression of the second law of thermodynamics for a spontaneous process?.

1 answer:

8 0

The second law of thermodynamics states that a spontaneous process increases the entropy of the universe, S(univ) > 0. If ΔS(univ) < 0, the process is nonspontaneous, and if ΔS(univ) = 0, the system is at equilibrium

<h3>What is thermodynamics ?</h3>

The science of thermodynamics examines the connections between heat, work, temperature, and energy. The rules of thermodynamics explain how energy moves inside a system and whether or not the system is capable of performing beneficial work on its surroundings.

Energy cannot be generated or destroyed, according to Thermodynamics' First Law. The entropy of the cosmos increases for spontaneous processes, according to the second law of thermodynamics. Third Law of Thermodynamics: Entropy is zero in a flawless crystal at absolute zero Kelvin.

In the Cori cycle, when glucose is degraded by glycolysis to lactate in muscle, the lactate is excreted into the blood and retur

Fantom [35]

Answer: Cori cycle consumes more energy,it expended 4ATPs, therefore with poor efficiency.

1 Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase.

it is an enzyme which functions in Glycolysis only, to breakdown the 6th. step of of subtrate phosphorylation of glucose.

2. glucose-6-phosphotase.

This is the enzyme that works in gluconeogenesis only to intiaate its first step. it hydrolyse glucose-6-phosphate , to generate glucose and phosphate.

Alcohol dehydrogenase

This enzyme does not play any role with both pathways.Rather it catalysis the oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols to aldehyde and ketones. The reaction involves reduction with NADH+

phosphoenopyruvate carboxykinase

functions in the gluconeogensis pathways for conversion of oxaloacatate to phosphoenopyruvate and CO2.

Phosphofructokinase-1

function as regulatory enzyme of glycolysis to convert fructose-6-phosphate and ATP hydrolysis to glucose 1, 6, bisphosphate and ADP respectively.

Phosphoglycerate mutase.

An enzyme involved in glycolytic pathway, it catalysed the 8th step of glycolysis.

Hexokinase- an enzyme of glycolytic pathway invloved in phosphorylation of glucose, to intiate the process of glycolysis.

Pyruvate dehydrogenase

This is an enzyme that converts pyruvate to acetyl Co-A.

therefore it plays no role in the two pathways, because glycolytic pathway ends with pyruvate production.

12 POINTS! Describe the two major types of active Transport in cells. PLEASE HELP.

Mars2501 [29]

1. SIMPLE DIFFUSION

Diffusion is the tendency of molecules to spread from regions of high concentration to regions of low concentration. This movement is due to a concentration gradient. This is the difference in concentration between two different regions. An example - when you spray perfume in the corner of a room and eventually you can smell it everywhere.

2. OSMOSIS

Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane from a region of high water concentration to a region of low water concentration.

What is the constant of “which date works best for a homemade fly trap?”

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

Mix scraps of meat (the older, the better) with something sweet. Lots of people swear by using rotten fish or shrimp, which probably work best because they smell so much. Bait for Fruit Flies: Use fruit (the riper, the better), apple cider vinegar, fruit juice, syrup, wine, beer, or any combination

PauseStopReplay Word Translate Which base is found only in RNA nucleotides?

AveGali [126]

The base found in RNA nucleotides, but not in DNA, is uracil.

RNA and DNA share three bases: adenine, cytosine, and guanine. However, for the fourth base, DNA has thymine while RNA has uracil. When forming base pairs, cytosine bases are matched with guanine, while adenine bases are matched with uracil or thymine.

Which are precautions to take when working with heat and fire? Check all that apply. Do not touch. Keep flammables away. Avoid t

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer: All the given precaution are important to take care when working with heat and fire.

Explanation:

Double check on these precaution should kept be while working or experimenting with fire and heat:

Hair should be tied back : bun or pony will be fine. if hair are untied then chances of catching fire by hair will be high.
Do not touch hot equipment ,if required use gloves or tongs. Touching hot equipment with bare hands may lead to burns or minor (or major) accident
Keep your face and eyes away from the flame while experimenting.Cover your face with mask and goggles.
Do not mix chemical until or unless told to do so. This is because some times mixing of chemicals leads to evolution of large amount of heat which can difficult to handle.
Be careful regarding cloths while working with heat and fire.
Flammables must be kept away and should be used with caution. Safer distance must be maintained
