Whether the process is abiotic or occurs in an organism, the synthesis of macromolecules
A) occurs with an increase of entropy.
B) is spontaneous.
C) requires energy.
D) results in a more random system.
E) gives off heat.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The synthesis of macromolecules requires energy, which is in contrast to spontaneous processes that occur without the input of energy. This process results in a decrease in entropy, as macromolecules are more ordered than their individual monomers. Therefore, options A, B, D, and E are incorrect.
