we consider a grwing plant. Limting our system to plant itself, to be an exmple of decreasing entropy, small molecules,like carbon dioxide, `CO_(2)` and water `H_(2)O` are built into complex but orderly arroangements of macromolecules, which one of the follwing statement applies?

A

The second law of thermodynamics, that the entropy of the unicerse is increasing, is being violated

B

Plant growth is so complex that the laws of thermodynamics cannot be applied successfully

C

The second law thermodynamics is not being violated because the entropy of the plant's surroundings is increasing

D

The second law of themodynamics is not being violated because the entropy of the plant's surrounding is dereasing

How do substances like carbon dioxide (CO_(2)) and water (H_(2)O) move in and out of the cell?

How do water molecules (H_(2)O) and carbon dioxide (CO_(2)) move in and out of the cell ?

Assertion: Photosynthesis in plants involves reaction of CO_(2) and H_(2)O in presence of light and cholrophyll. Reason: It is chlorophyll which absorbs light and passes this energy to reactant molecules.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions: The objects which are non-superimposable on their mirror image (like a pair of hands) are said to be chiral and this property is known as chirality. Chiral molecules are optically active, while the objects, which are, superimposable on their mirror images are called achiral. These molecules are optically inactive. The above test of molecular chirality can be applied to organic molecules by constructing models and its mirror images or by drawing three dimensional structures and attempting to superimpose them in our minds. There are other aids, however, that can assist us in recognising chiral molecules. One such aid is the presence of a single asymmetric carbon atom. In these questions a statement of assertion followed by a statement of reason is given . Choose the correct answer out of the following choices. Assertion (A): Butan-2-ol is a chiral molecule. Reason (R): It has 4 different groups attached to carbon atom.
