Answer:

a. Entropy

Explanation:

Entropy is the measure of the degree of disorder of a system, being a measure of the unavailability of energy. Rudolf Clausius was the first to use the term Entropy in 1865. Entropy would be the measure of the amount of thermal energy that cannot be reversed into mechanical energy (cannot perform work) at a given temperature.

Because of this concept, we can understand that the tendency of energy to be lost as heat during the transformation of organic matter supports the concept of entropy.

Which events take place in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis?
borishaifa [10]

The correct answer is : Light energy is captured by plants; light energy is converted to chemical energy.

In the process of photosynthesis, special pigment molecule called chlorophyll can capture the energy of the light, more specifically the photon. When a particle of light (a photon) with a specific energy reaches this pigment in the leaves of plants, the energy is transferred from the particle to the molecule, and the molecule becomes excited. This is the phase where the energy of the light is captured and transformed into chemical energy that can later be used to make sugars.

All of the later chemical processes that transfer the energy from the excited chlorophyll to the sugar molecules are not dependent on the light and can happen during the night as well.

Explain Earth’s gravity as it orbits the Sun.
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

the Earth orbits the Sun because of the pull of the Sun's gravity. This happens because the Earth has a acceleration in the direction perpendicular to the force of the Sun's pull and if the Sun weren't there, the Earth would travel in a straight line.

Jlenok [28]

Answer:

chemical energy

Explanation:

During photosynthesis, “producers” like green plants, algae and some bacteria convert light energy from the sun into chemical energy. Photosynthesis produces chemical energy in the form of glucose, a carbohydrate or sugar
