Question 3 (1 point) ✓ Saved The first law of thermodynamics states that O energy is required to bring molecules into a cell against a concentration gradient. O in energy yielding reactions, matter goes from a more ordered to a less ordered state. O energy can neither be created nor destroyed. O all living organisms must eat to derive energy. O None of these are the first law of thermodynamics.

The second law of thermodynamics states that: Energy is required to bring molecules into a cell against the concentration gradient. In a closed system, energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed. All living organisms must eat to derive energy. In energy-yielding reactions, matter goes from a more-ordered to a less-ordered state.

Which of the following statements best summarizes the first law of thermodynamics in the context of the cell? The biological processes of the cell are not energetically favorable. All of the energy consumed by a cell is not used to perform work, some is lost as heat. During catabolism, the energy stored in food is converted into different forms of energy. Once energy is utilized by the cell, it is no longer available for other types of work.
For living organisms, which of the following is an important consequence of the first law of thermodynamics? The organism ultimately must obtain all of the necessary energy for life from its environment. Organisms can destroy energy when they die The energy content of an organism is always constant. Life does not obey the first law of thermodynamics.
