Subjective Short Answer

 

67. Describe how the laws of thermodynamics would impact the Earth were the sun’s light suddenly blocked.​

ANSWER:   According to the first law of thermodynamics, the absence of incoming energy would limit life on Earth to the energy already available. Photosynthesizers would die rapidly, while consumers would last longer. However, the second law of thermodynamics tells us that energy would be lost with each transformation (one organism eating another), so eventually there would be insufficient amounts of energy on Earth to support life

68. Discuss the role of turgor in the crisp lettuce purchased at the grocery store looking much limper by the time it gets home.​

ANSWER:   At the grocery store, they mist the vegetables with water. The water enters the lettuce cells generating turgor which keeps the leaves full and crisp. Once you buy the lettuce and the mist is lost (possibly combined with a ride in a hot trunk), the water leaves the leaf cells reducing the turgor and causing the lettuce to wilt.​

69. Compare and contrast facilitated and active transport.​

ANSWER:   Both of these have in common that they move substances across cell membranes via transmembrane proteins. However, facilitated transport can only move substances down their concentration gradient and does not require an input of energy.  On the other hand, active transport requires energy. and moves substances against their concentration gradients.
