The effect that can happen to energy according to the first and the second laws of
Introduction:
Energy is that physical identity that cannot be seen but it is present and can be felt. Without energy, nothing is possible to exist in this world. It is the most basic requirement of everything organism. It provides the capability to do work. It is totally different from

Which of the following statements is most directly described by the first law of
thermodynamics?
A

D
The synthesis of highly-ordered biomolecules is coupled with the production of heat
energy.
All energy-transferring processes involve the loss of some of that energy into an unus-
able form.
Enzymes reduce the activation energy of chemical energy by stabilizing substrates at
their transition states.
The energy for the synthesis of glucose is provided by the absorption of light energy in
chlorophyll pigments.
The existence of life is dependents on bioenergetics to overcome the restrictions of thermodynamics. What does the term bioenergetics mean? Provide one well-structured example of how bioenergetics provides the necessary conditions required for life to exist given the restrictions of thermodynamics.
The first and second laws of thermodynamics are useful for biochemists who investigate chemical reactions in living organisms. Explain why the third law is not useful.
