Suppose That, in a Closed System, There Is an Input

question 235

Multiple Choice

Suppose that, in a closed system, there is an input of energy as 1 kJ of light.The light energy is converted to glucose, then ATP, and finally to mechanical energy.Which statement about the amount of mechanical energy available is true?

• A) There is 1 kJ of mechanical energy available to do work.
• B) The amount of usable energy decreases with each conversion, so less than 1 kJ of energy is available for mechanical work.
• C) All of the reactions involved are anabolic, so there is 0.25 kJ of mechanical energy available.
• D) All of the reactions involved are exergonic, so the number of kilojoules of mechanical energy produced is greater than the 1 kJ input.
• E) All of the reactions involved are endergonic, so without constant input of energy, no mechanical energy is produced.
