Cells are open systems that exchange matter and energy with their surroundings. Which of the following best explains why plant c

ells require sunlight to make organic compounds, according to Gibbs’s theory of free energy? The energy input required for making organic compounds equals the usable energy output of respiration. The energy required from sunlight to start photosynthesis is less than the energy needed from another energy source. The energy required to make organic compounds is always greater than the potential energy stored in these compounds. The energy that a plant absorbs from sunlight is spontaneously transformed into chemical energy because the outputs are more stable.

Answer:

The energy input required for making organic compounds equals the usable energy output of respiration.

Explanation:

A reaction is endergonic (energy-consuming) process if the change in free energy is positive.

A positive change in free energy implies that energy is required to enter into the system. Let us recall that free energy is a state function. Hence, change free energy =free energy of products - free energy of reactants.

If free energy of products > free energy of reactants then the reaction is an endergonic (energy-consuming) process..

But The energy input required for making organic compounds equals the usable energy output of respiration, hence making the process spontaneous.

Which of the following shows natural selection?Select one:a.A horse's parents were racers. The fastest horses are bred to produc
Yakvenalex [24]

Natural selection is the process in which some organisms that show better adaptation to the environment are more likely to produce an offspring. In the case of the exercise, the answer is:

b. Some tuna live in the Pacific Ocean. They are fast, so they are likely to survive and pass on their genes.

It means that as they are better adapted to that environment due to the fact they are fast swimmers, they are likely not only to survive, but to pass their genes and produce offsprings.

Wood has______ energy while a burning fire has____ energy
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

Wood has_chemical energy_____ energy while a burning fire has__heat energy __ energy

Wood is a material that makes up the central part of the trunk and branches of trees. Wood is made up of complex hydrocarbons and a rich cellulose network of organic molecules. A wood stores chemicals energy.

Combustion process such as burning liberates heat energy in them. Burning occurs in the presence of oxygen. As the oxygen combines with the materials, heat becomes liberated to the surroundings. Burning is an exothermic process in which heat energy is liberated.

PLS HELP!!! ill give brainliest for best answer!
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

 I would expect light rain in pittsburgh over the next 24 to 48 hours. The lower/falling pressures in cities to the west indicate that a low pressure system is moving from west to east toward pittsburgh. Low pressure systems are normally associated with precipitation. The fact that you do not see a big drop in temperature in the more western cities indicates the low pressure system is moving with a warm front, so only light rain would be expected. Heavy rains or more violent weather is only normally associated with cold fronts, where the warm air is pushed up and over a cold front rapidly. This rapidly rising air (convection) is what gives you heavier torrential rains, and other potentially severe weather conditions.
