bucket of water, which of the statements would be true
n n n n n n n n n
?
a. The entropy of the bucket of water would be gr

n n n n n n
c. The entropy of the dog would be greater. -
n n n n n n n n
ANSWER >>>>a. The entropy of the bucket of water
n n n n n n n n n
, would be greater. (To maintain itself as a living organis
n n n n n n n n n
m, the dog (or any living organism) needs constant inp

ut of energy. A bucket of water will remain a bucket of
n n n n n n n n n n n n
water without input of energy. In fact, if you add energy
n n n n n n n n n n
to water, it may change its state to a gas and become

even more disordered (exhibit higher entropy).)

Suppose that a researcher claimed to have created a n n n n n n n n n
genetically modified plant that produces twice as muc n n n n n n n
h energy as it harnesses from its environment. How co
n n n n n n n n n
uld this be possible?
n n n
a. This is impossible because such a plant would vi
n n n n n n n n
olate the laws of thermodynamics.
n n n n
b. The researcher has likely doubled the amount of D
n n n n n n n n
NA present in the plant's genome.

c. The researcher has inserted genes into the plant's
n n n n n n n n
genome that increase the amount of work the plant is c

apable of performing. n n
d. The researcher has inserted a mutation into the pla

produced.
e. The researcher has found a way to decrease the ov
