The first law of thermodynamics states that heat is a form of energy and thermodynamics processes are therefore subject to the principles of conservation of energy. The principle of conservation of energy on the other hand states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to another.

The mathematical equation for the first law of thermodynamic states that

E = Q - W,

Where E = change in internal energy

Q = Heat added to the system and

W = Work done by the system.

This equation shows that, energy is conserved in the system, that is, the change internal energy of a system is a function of the heat added to the system minus the work done by the system. Thus, all the energy supply to the system has been accounted for and nothing is lost; this is in agreement with the principle of conservation of energy.

Which of the following are electron carriers in many important cellular processes?
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

1. B. NADH

2. B. hydrolysis of ATP.

3. C. ATP is produced from protein.

4. Option C.

5. Option C. Oxygen

6. Option D. Glucose.

7. Carbondioxide.

8. Metabolism.

9. Electron carriers.

10. Electrons.

Explanation:

Cellular respiration is a series of metabolic processes that break down sugars or food to produce energy. ATP is the cellular energy produced during cellular respiration. Cellular respiration requires oxygen which is also called aerobic respiration. There are stages of cellular respiration and they include; glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, Krebs cycle or citric acid and oxidative phosphorylation. During cellular respiration, glucose is broken down into carbondioxide and water. Along the way, ATP is produced from the processes that transform glucose.

Describe the advantage of an excretory system for terrestrial animals
yaroslaw [1]
The excretory system allows animals to remove metabolic waste their bodies. Many of these substances are potentially toxic. in Mammals nitrogenous toxins like urea are expelled through liquid urine while in reptiles and birds the nitrogenous compounds are expelled as a solid. This allows birds and reptiles to use less water in the processes of metabolism.

Alex787 [66]
<span>Base on the data in the graph, the event that would most likely happen if the paramecium were placed in distilled water is that "The contractions would increase." This is the result of a hypertonic solution. </span>The net movement of water in an aqueous solution is form the higher water concentration to a lower water concentration. A hypertonic solution has higher solute in the cell than the outside. The movement is from the cell to the outside and so the cell will shrink.
