Answer:

Food chain is an excellent example of the first law of thermodynamics.

Explanation:

First law of thermodynamics states that energy of the universe is constant. It is always found in the universe in some form or the other. It cannot be destroyed or totally used up and we cannot also create energy out of anything in this world. Energy transforms from one form to another form.

Food chain is considered to be an excellent example of 1st law of thermodynamics. Every living organisms in the world posses energy. And all living organisms consumed each other or eat each other for their survival and consumes these energy to survive. So the energy possessed in one organisms or animal is transferred to the other organism that is higher in the food chain when they eats the lower organisms or animal in the food chain.

Thus energy transfers form one form to another.

Some organisms can create a sodium motive force by pumping sodium ions across a membrane using the energy of an electron transpo
juin [17]

Answer:

In order for the sodium motive force to provide useful energy for the cell the organism must contain sodium ion gradient or potential across the membrane.

Explanation:

If the concentration of sodium is high in the inter membrane space than that of matrix then a sodium gradient is generated across the inner mitochondrial membrane.

    The transport of sodium ions from inter membrane space to matrix through the sodium ion channel result in the generation of sodium motive force,that is used to provide energy to the cell.

Answer:

Phospholipids are amphipathic molecules. This means that they have a hydrophilic, polar phosphate head and two hydrophobic fatty acid tails. These components of the phospholipids cause them to orientate themselves, so the phosphate head can interact with water and the fatty acid tails can't, hence forming a bilayer
