Question

obeys the 2nd "breaks down starch releasing 100 kcal of energy" It then uses this energy to synthesize and store 100 kcal of fat. When the yeast finally breaks down the fat, that energy is destroyed and lost forever. Based on this information, click and drag the correct terms to complete the following sentences.

Answer 1

COMPLETED QUESTION.

A yeast growing on a slice of bread breaks down starch releasing 100 kcal of energy. It then uses this energy to synthesize and store 100 kcal of fat. When the yeast finally breaks down the fat, that energy is destroyed and lost forever. Based on this information, click and drag the correct terms to complete the following sentences.

obeys the 1ˢᵗ

obeys the 2ⁿᵈ

violates the 1ˢᵗ

violates the 2ⁿᵈ

Yeast breaking down starch into usable energy  ____________  law of thermodynamics.

Yeast converting 100 kcal of starch into 100 kcal of fat  ____________  law of thermodynamics.

Yeast destroying energy when they break down fat  ____________  law of thermodynamic

 Answer:

When yeast breaks down starch into usable energy, it obeys the 2nd law of thermodynamics, since the second law is related to the quality of energy, and more useful energy was obtained from the exergonic  process. Although more energy is  also wasted during   bond breaking and making .Energy is lost as heat.,from the principle of the 2nd law

By converting 100kcal of starch into 100kcal of fats it obeys the first law, which maintained that the energy in the universe is constant, it cannot be created nor destroyed but can be   converted from one form to another,

However the first law was violated when yeast destroyed energy by breaking down fat, because the law maintained that energy cannot be destroyed
