Investigate what newborn babies, skunk cabbage, hibernating bears, and a banned diet drug called dsp all have in common with regards to cellular respiration. select the answer below that best fits the results of your investigation. select the best explanation of why newborn babies skunk cabbage, hibernating bears and consumption of dnp drug all toad to the generation of heat? thermoregulation energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be transformed therefore if atp a not generated from glucose than t a transformed into heat instead. the first and second law of thermodynamics state that energy cannot be created nor destroyed and that every energy transformation must be accompanied by an increase of randomness or entropy to the universe. by blocking the transformation of energy stored in the gradient from the etc into atp, the cell must transform that energy into something else because energy cannot be destroyed. the release of that energy as heat fulfils the second law of thermodynamics by increasing randomness or entropy. all of these organisms have a different type of fat tissue called brown fat in which cellular respiration occurs in reverse. every energy transformation is accompanied by a small release of heat. this is due to the second law of thermodynamics that states every energy transformation must increase the entropy of the universe. since in all of these organisms the oxidative phosphorylation step is disrupted, the process now occurs in one big step instead of several small ones. this allows the energy of glucose to be converted into atp in one explosive step that generates a lot of heat, it is the equivalent of a car's gas tank blowing up versus burning gas gradually to power the engine.
