Answer:

false, first

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed. Plants do not create energy, but rather they harness it from the sun. They convert the light energy in the photons of sunlight into chemical energy in the bonds of carbohydrates they make. We get energy from consuming plants when we acquire and break down these chemical bonds in carbohydrates of plants for our cellular processes.

Answer:

The correct answer is "false; first".

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics deals with the conservation of energy, stating that the total energy of a system remains constant. In other words, it is not possible to create or destroy energy, energy only changes from one state or another. Therefore, it is false to affirm that plants create energy. Plants use energy from sunlight during photosynthesis to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose.

g Electron flow down the electron-transport chain leads to the transport of proteins: Group of answer choices from the matrix to
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

from the intermembrane space to the matrix

Explanation:

In the electron transport chain (ETC), electrons flow from one protein complex to another. However, as this electrons are transfered, protons (H+) is built up from the intermembrane space of the mitochondria to the mitochondrial matrix.

Hence, according to this question, a proton gradient is formed when hydrogen ions (H+) are moving from the intermembrane space to the matrix of the mitochondrial.

Suppose a human blood cell containing a 0.9 percent solute concentration were put into a container of 0 percent solute solution
Vladimir [108]

Answer and explanation:

If a human blood cell with a 0.9% solute concentration were to be put into a container of 0% solute solution, the cell would get BIGGER.

<u>The cell contains a </u><u>more concentrated solution</u><u> than the solution in the container</u>. The difference in concentration would produce an <em>osmotic gradient</em> that would cause water from the container to get inside the cell to even the concentrations - this is going to make the cell much bigger because the entering water would bloat the cell.

In this example, the solution in the container is hypotonic in relation to the cell, while the solution inside the cell is hypertonic in relation to the solution in the container. This is why the water will be moving from outside of the cell to the inside of the cell.
