- You and a friend are eating dinner together, and a number of events occur during your dinner that call to mind the Laws of Thermodynamics. Match each event to the most relevant Law of Thermodynamics. Your food is cooked on a propane grill, which converts the chemical energy from propane and oxygen into the heat used to cook the food, First Law of Thermodynamics Second Law of Thermodynamics Your meals arrive, and your friend enjoys eating her steak, which contains chemical energy that will be converted into other forms of chemical energy within her body. After the meal, you go for a walk. The chemical energy from dinner will help generate ATP to fuel the skeletal muscles used for walking. The waiter brings a basket of bread, but as you eat it crumbs are scattered on the table. Your glass of water falls off the table and breaks into many pieces.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is true concerning thermodynamics of reactions within a cell? a) Spontaneous reactions always consume energy b) Unfavorable reactions can be coupled to nonspontaneous reactions c) Compartmentalization can be used to drive up the concentration of substrates to force a reaction to occur d) All important reactions are spontaneousarrow_forward_____1.
