<u>Answer:</u>

<em>That chemical energy which is not used for cellular work is used to contribute to the entropy of the system. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The <em>chemical energy is stored in the form of sugar in plants and as fats or lipids</em> is used to store energy in animals. The entropy of the system in plant cell is used to produce carbohydrates by <em>combining the water and carbon dioxide. </em>

<em>Humans and animals convert energy obtained from food as fat for the long-term storage of the energy.</em>

a cell is placed in a solution of 3% starch and 3% glucose. After several hours, glucose is detected outside of the cell, but st
Alex17521 [72]

Answer and Explanation:

The cell was placed in a hypertonic solution. Glucose is a monosaccharide while starch is a polysaccharide. The concentration on the outside is higher compared to that on the inside. The cells have cell membrane that is semi-permeable.

Movement of molecules is dependent on the concentation gradient. However, the size of molecules determine the diffusion rate. Small and light molecules diffuse faster than large and heavy molecules thus glucose diffused faster than starch.

The cell membrane being permeable suggested that it allows molecules of small sizes to pass but not large ones.
