Which of the following statements about the combustion of glucose with oxygen to form water and carbon dioxide (c6h12o6 + 6 o2 → 6 co2 + 6 h2o) is correct?
(a)- the reverse reaction, making glucose from water and carbon dioxide, must be an exergonic reaction.
(b)-this is the process of cellular respiration, an anabolic pathway that releases free energy.
(c)-the free energy lost in this combustion is less than the energy that appears as heat.
(d)-the entropy of the universe decreases as the result of this reaction.
(e)-the entropy of the products is greater than the entropy of the reactants.
