The second law of thermodynamics states that the entropy of a closed system always increases. Cellular systems take disordered substrates to construct highly ordered molecules and organelles. How can photosynthesis be used to make glucose without violating this law? Note: glucose is more a ordered molecule then the CO2 used to construct it.
The thermodynamics laws apply to all systems which involve
energy
transformations and
energy. photosynthesis do fall in this category.
In photosynthesis,
For first law of thermodynamics : conservation law
Plant just transforms light energy into food energy
but
does not make
energy
For second law of thermodynamics : Transformation law
During the process, since most of energy is lost as heat ,
not all of the energy
is converted
For third law of
thermodynamics : Entropy law
Needs a regular stream of energy , For keeping system
going.
Photosynthesis needs a regular stream of energy to make glucose
without violating this law.

Worksheet 5.3 Thermodynamics The second Law of Thermodynamics states that for any change the total entropy of the Universe must increase Although there are other definitions of entropy (S), we will define it as the number of possible arrangements for a given state This means the more possible arrangements, the higher the probability of that state Let's explore the ideas of entropy using the example of putting dye in a flask of water Imagine that you have a flask that...
The second law of thermodynamics means that ____. a) the entropy of an isolated system can decrease Yes/No b) the entropy of a system can decrease if the entropy of its surrounding increases by a larger amount Yes/No c) heat can spontaneously flow from a colder body to a hotter body Yes/No d) a system tends to go to a final state which has a smaller number of possible mechanical states Yes/No
Please explain Entropy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Below you will find key questions. 1. Know that spontaneity is not solely dependent on the enthalpy change for a reaction or process. Some endothermic processes, like ice melting, are spontaneous under certain conditions. 2. Know that when ice melts, liquid water evaporates, or NaCl dissolves in water, the arrangement of molecules or ions becomes more disordered. 3 Define entropy in words, and know Boltzmann’s equation for entropy. 4 Know and...
True or False (Problems 1 through 10) 1. The change in entropy of a closed system is the same for every process between two specified states 2. The entropy of a fixed amount of an incompressible substance increases in every process for which temperature increases 3. A process that violates the second law of thermodynamics violates the first law of thermodynamics. 4. When a net amount of work is done on a closed system undergoing an internally reversible process, a...
The second law of thermodynamics states that for any spontaneous process the entropy of the universe must increase. Explain how this statement (increasing entropy) relates to: lambda G_rxn lambda H_rxn lambda S_rxn For this process under standard conditions. H_2O_($) O longleftrightdoublearrow H_2O(f), circle the correct sign you predict for (a), (b), and (c) and explain your reasoning lambda G_rxn + or - lambda H_rxn + or- lambda H_rxn + or-(d) Explain how temperature affects the sign of lambda G in...

Tele No The first law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed. If this is the case, why is it said that "energy does not cycle"? 1. 2. In the body, glucose can be broken down via cellular respiration to provide energy, or it can be built into chains of glycogen (or starch for plants) and stored. What determines which reaction glucose undergoes? 3. In the following metabolic pathway, we normally get the final product "G." A-F...
