Answer:

Photosynthesis

Light energy from the sun stimulates photosynthesis by green plants. One major component of the carbon cycle is the reduction of the carbon (IV) oxide content in the atmosphere by plants. Plants take in Carbon (IV) oxide to use during the process of making their own food. During this process light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll and is used to convert carbon (IV) oxide and water to glucose.

This glucose is used during respiration by living organisms that give out carbon (IV) oxide. The cycle continues.

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

a). $\frac{\dot{W}}{m}= 311$ kJ/kg

b). $\frac{\dot{\sigma _{gen}}}{m}=0.9113$ kJ/kg-K

Explanation:

a). The energy rate balance equation in the control volume is given by

$\dot{Q} - \dot{W}+m(h_{1}-h_{2})=0$

$\frac{\dot{Q}}{m} = \frac{\dot{W}}{m}+m(h_{1}-h_{2})$

$\frac{\dot{W}}{m}= \frac{\dot{Q}}{m}+c_{p}(T_{1}-T_{2})$

$\frac{\dot{W}}{m}= -30+1.1(980-670)$

$\frac{\dot{W}}{m}= 311$ kJ/kg

b). Entropy produced from the entropy balance equation in a control volume is given by

$\frac{\dot{Q}}{T_{boundary}}+\dot{m}(s_{1}-s_{2})+\dot{\sigma _{gen}}=0$

$\frac{\dot{\sigma _{gen}}}{m}=\frac{-\frac{\dot{Q}}{m}}{T_{boundary}}+(s_{2}-s_{1})$

$\frac{\dot{\sigma _{gen}}}{m}=\frac{-\frac{\dot{Q}}{m}}{T_{boundary}}+c_{p}ln\frac{T_{2}}{T_{1}}-R.ln\frac{p_{2}}{p_{1}}$

$\frac{\dot{\sigma _{gen}}}{m}=\frac{-30}{315}+1.1ln\frac{670}{980}-0.287.ln\frac{100}{400}$

$\frac{\dot{\sigma _{gen}}}{m}=0.0952+0.4183+0.3978$

$\frac{\dot{\sigma _{gen}}}{m}=0.9113$ kJ/kg-K

What is the outermost structure in a plant cell

dybincka [34]

Molecular structure of the primary cell wall in plants. Up to three strata or layers may be found in plant cell walls: The middle lamella, a layer rich in pectins. This outermost layer forms the interface between adjacent plant cells and glues them together.
