Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following reactions would decrease entropy within a cell?
A
anabolic
B
catabolic
C
diffusion
D
digestion
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: a) anabolic reactions. CORRECT-this would decrease the entropy of the cells by producing new tissues with greater organization (graeter order) from more disordered building block molecules.

Detailed explanation-2: -Energy source Anabolism usually involves reduction and decreases entropy, making it unfavorable without energy input.

Detailed explanation-3: -The correct answer is (A) anabolic reactions. The result of an anabolic process is a decreased number of molecules, and consequently decreased disorder, within a cell. In contrast, hydrolysis, digestion, and catabolic reactions all break molecules down into smaller components, increasing entropy.

Detailed explanation-4: -They release energy by breaking down polymers into monomers. They increase the entropy of the organism.
