question 15

Multiple Choice

• A)the cellular energy expended in "thinking" must be less than the chemical bond energy supplied in food to these brain cells.
• B)"thought" cannot be linked to cell processes because energy is not related to matter.
• C)since thoughts can occur over and over,the requirement for a continual input of energy to prevent entropy does not apply to this cell activity.
• D)"thinking" is beyond the scope of science to study.
