B

Keep in mind that total energy in the beginning and after work remains the same according o thermodynamics theory that energy can't be created or destroyed.

Explanation:

Conversion of energy from one form to another is not 100% efficient. Even the transfer of energy from one object to another (work) is not 100% efficient. This also applies to cells. The inefficiencies are lost as heat energy. Examples of such work in the cells include active transport by cell membrane protein channels, metabolic pathways, and etcetera. Some energy in the hydrolysis of ATP to power these biochemical activities is lost as heat which is part of the reason we remain warm. This energy ends up being lost into the environment as heat (e.g even from sweating).

What are the negative consequences of improper disposal of electronic waste?​
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

1) Increased probability of hazardous chemical contamination.

2) Air, water, and soil pollution.

3) Mortality in both terrestrial and aquatic organisms.

4) Development of diseases in humans.

Explanation:

The improper disposal of electronic waste can have detrimental consequences for the environment and, as a result, to all living beings including humans.

If electronic waste is thrown away in an open area, it warms up and releases hazardous chemicals that are detrimental for the health of living beings. This occurs because <u>electronic objects contain toxic chemicals such as lead, mercury, cadmium, amongst others</u>.

These chemicals will eventually enter both soil and water, harming thousands to millions of terrestrial and aquatic organisms. Moreover, these chemicals will enter the food chain and, as humans consume these affected organisms, we are also affected in numerous ways. For example, ingesting these chemicals could cause reproductive issues, damage to both the nervous and digestive systems, the development of cancer, etc.
