Describe what free energy is. - ANSWER-The portion of a biological system's energy that can perform work when temperature and pressure are uniform throughout the system. The change in free energy of a system is calculated by the equation ΔG=ΔH-TΔS, where H is enthalpy (in biological systems, equivalent to total energy), T is absolute temperature, and S is entropy. Basically it is the capacity of a system to do work. Explain how life is able to adhere to the laws of thermodynamics and a...

APES Unit 4 AP College board Questions with solutions 2024 Which of the following is the best explanation for the formation of Hadley cells in the tropics, as seen in the diagram between 30 degree N and 30 degree S latitude? The sun warms the moist air at the equator and causes it to rise because of its lower density. As the warm air moves away from the equator, it cools, becomes denser , and then sinks. Which of the following is the best explanation for the deflection of the trade wind...
