How do the first and second laws of thermodynamics apply to cellular respiration?

• A. Cellular respiration decreases entropy by producing heat energy only.
• B. Cellular respiration conserves energy by transforming glucose into ATP, losing some energy as heat, thus increasing entropy.
• C. Cellular respiration violates the first law by creating energy from carbon dioxide.
• D. Cellular respiration creates energy from glucose, which is then stored without loss.

Answer: (B)
