Why heat is not an effective means of driving unfavorable processes in biological systems?

What Can We Learn About Biochemical Events From Thermodynamic Parameters?

Choose the best description of an enzyme: (a) It allows a chemical reaction to proceed extremely fast. (b) It increases the rate at which a chemical reaction approaches equilibrium relative to its uncatalyzed rate. (c) It makes a reaction thermodynamically favorable.

Describe how thermodynamics and metabolic are relate

Which of the following statements is NOT true?   None of the other four answers (all are true) The energy required to cause a chemical reaction to occur is called the activation energy Decomposition (degradation, catabolic) reactions are usually endergonic Chemical reactions in living cells are catalyzed by enzymes Enzymes increase the probability that a chemical reaction will take place by lowering the activation energy

how I can describe the mechanical and chemical processes when I  eat a whopper and fries for lunch ?

How does the act of a spontaneous reaction occurring allow for the non-spontaneous reaction to also occur? Does one release energy and the other absorb it, and how?

How it is that cells are making larger, more complex molecules, yet they do not defy the second law of thermodynamics? (note: cells are open systems not closed)

please see attached

1) Which of the following statements is true for the Second Law of Thermodynamics? a) ΔS (Sfinal-Sinitial) for the system is negative. b) The living system is not exchanging heat nor matter. c) Energy is conserved in the universe. d) The biological system never reach equilibrium.
