Document Summary
Life is result of chemical interactions of various elements in the environment. Reactions in the living system occur due to: interaction of neutrons of different atoms, interaction of all the electrons in the atoms, interaction of electrons in the outer orbit of the atom, nuclear interactions. Its occurring in the form of energy (small mass is being to converted to a high form of energy- mass ot energy is the biggest disorder to occur) Plants synthesize different compounds and create beautiful orders from disorder like flowers (e. g. glucose from co2, leaves, flowers, and fruits). Write down the energy conversions from the source to the last form of energy in this process. Combustion is reaction with oxygen in this process- oxidation reaction. In the flames of the fire the energy that is lost is radiated away from the reaction in the form of heat and light. This is disorganized low-quality energy and rapidly becomes unavailable to the system.
