Answer:

The measure of disorder in a system, of randomness is called entropy.

Explanation:

In the nineteenth century Clausius coined the concept in the field of physics to refer to a measure of the disorder that can be seen in the molecules of a gas. From then on this concept would be used with various meanings in multiple sciences, such as physics, chemistry, computer science, mathematics and linguistics.

In origin, entropy is a magnitude of thermodynamics such as temperature, density, mass or volume. It is represented by the letter S and serves to explain why some physical processes occur in a certain way by measuring the degree of dosorder of a system at the molecuar level.

Answer:

They speed up chemical reactions. Without them you wouldn't be alive. They break down macromolecules, and also lower the amount of energy needed for a chemical reaction to happen.

Answer:

D) In case 1, both PS I and PS II completely lose function; in case 2, a proton gradient is still produced.

Explanation:

The light dependent reaction of photosynthesis, which produces the ATP and NADPH needed in the light independent stage of the process, includes complexes of proteins and pigments called PHOTOSYSTEMS. These photosystems (I and II) are key to the functionality of the light dependent reactions in the thylakoid.

The major pigment present in both photosystems is CHLOROPHYLL A, which absorbs light energy and transfers electrons to the reaction center. Chlorophyll B is only an accessory pigment meaning it can be done without. Hence, if all of the chlorophyll A is inactivated in the algae but leaves chlorophyll B intact as in case 1, both PS I and PS II will lose their function because Chlorophyll A is the major pigment that absorbs light energy in both photosystems.

In case 2, if PS I is inhibited and PS II is unaffected, a PROTON GRADIENT WILL STILL BE PRODUCED because the splitting of water into protons (H+) and electrons (e-) occurs in PSII. Hence, H+ ions can still be pumped into the inner membrane of the thylakoid in order to build a proton gradient even without the occurrence of PS I.

goblinko [34]

Those are glucose, oxygen and carbon dioxide (CO2).
<span>Respiration and photosynthesis are opposite processes in the plant cell. Photosynthesis makes the glucose and releases oxygen and they are used in cellular respiration to make ATP. The glucose is broken down during the respiration into CO2, which is used in photosynthesis. While H2O is broken down to form oxygen during photosynthesis, in cellular respiration oxygen is combined with hydrogen to form H2O. </span>
