When an organism breaks down organic molecules, some of the energy that had been stored as chemical energy is lost as heat. this

happens because when an organism breaks down organic molecules, some of the energy that had been stored as chemical energy is lost as heat. this happens because every energy transfer or transformation increases entropy. the enzymes in photosynthesis are inefficient. the enzymes in cellular respiration are inefficient. chemical energy can only be converted to heat energy.\?

<span>The right answer is: *some of the energy that had been stored as chemical energy is lost as heat.

Breaking down an organic molecule into smaller ones is part metabolism of all the living organisms. It is called catabolism.

Catabolism is the set of reactions of molecular degradation of the organism considered. It is the opposite of anabolism, all synthesis reactions. Catabolism and anabolism are the two components of metabolism.Catabolism reactions are oxidations (or dehydrogenations) and they are thermodynamically favorable, that is they are exergonic (yielding chemical energy, producing energy). A part of this energy is used for biological activities, like moving, building or binding molecules together. The other part is released as heat. (You can take an example in the real life like running, the energy lets you moving and produces by the way heat)</span>

How are the processes of natural selection and artificial selection similar? How are they different?
Charra [1.4K]
<span>Artificial and natural selection are really the same process but one is driven by man and the other is driven by an organism's traits that allow them to survive and reproduce. Artificial selection is when mankind chooses certain traits in plants and animals and breeds to enhance that trait.</span>

4. What is the function of the<br> vacuole?
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

Explanation:

Vacuoles are membrane-bound sacs within the cytoplasm of a cell that function in several different ways. In mature plant cells, vacuoles tend to be very large and are extremely important in providing structural support, as well as serving functions such as storage, waste disposal, protection, and growth.
