Plants have a vascular system (analogous to ours) made of Xylem, cells which bring nutrients from the roots to the leaves, and Phloem, cells that move sugar from the leaves to the rest of the plant. when you bend or snap the stem, these "veins" can be broken, and will no longer transfer nutrients to and from the upper part of the plant, even standing the stem back up will not reconnect these. and, like cutting off circulation to your hand, the part not receiving nutrients will soon shrivel and die.

Which equation is an expression of the second law of thermodynamics for a spontaneous process?.
leva [86]

The second law of thermodynamics states that a spontaneous process increases the entropy of the universe, S(univ) > 0. If ΔS(univ) < 0, the process is nonspontaneous, and if ΔS(univ) = 0, the system is at equilibrium

<h3>What is thermodynamics ?</h3>

The science of thermodynamics examines the connections between heat, work, temperature, and energy. The rules of thermodynamics explain how energy moves inside a system and whether or not the system is capable of performing beneficial work on its surroundings.

  • Energy cannot be generated or destroyed, according to Thermodynamics' First Law. The entropy of the cosmos increases for spontaneous processes, according to the second law of thermodynamics. Third Law of Thermodynamics: Entropy is zero in a flawless crystal at absolute zero Kelvin.

C. How is the energy produced by respiration stored?
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

Energy produced by respiration is stored in Adenosine triphosphate, also known as ATP.

Explanation:

Cellular respiration uses glucose and turns it into ATP. Using NADH and FADH₂ (Created in the Krebs Cycle) in the Electron Transport Chain, we can produce 32-38 molecules of ATP. ATP carries a lot of energy, and your cells and body uses ATP (ATP is basically like a large battery).
