A quadratic polynomial is defined as a polynomial of degree 2, which is 2x^2 + 3x - 5.

Sustainable tourism can help conserve biodiversity by promoting responsible travel that does not harm ecosystems.

Sustainable agriculture practices help in conserving biodiversity by maintaining healthy ecosystems.

Rainwater harvesting is a practice that helps conserve water and can support ecosystems by maintaining water levels.

Crop rotation helps maintain soil health and reduces soil erosion by preventing nutrient depletion.

Dissolving salt in water is a spontaneous process at standard conditions, resulting in a negative ΔG.

Photosynthesis is an endothermic process that requires energy, resulting in a positive ΔG.

The melting of ice increases the entropy of the system as it transitions from a solid to a liquid state, which has more disorder.

Condensation is the process where gas changes to liquid.

In an adiabatic process, the system does not exchange heat with its surroundings, leading to a change in temperature.

Melting involves a change of state (solid to liquid) without a change in temperature.

Translation is the process where mRNA is decoded to produce a protein.

Transformation is the process by which bacteria take up foreign DNA from their environment.

Convection involves the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids.

An adiabatic process is one in which no heat is exchanged with the surroundings, such as compressing a gas without heat exchange.

An adiabatic process is one in which no heat is exchanged with the surroundings, such as compressing a gas in a piston without heat exchange.

Melting ice at 0°C is an isothermal process as the temperature remains constant during the phase change.

Sublimation of dry ice (solid CO2) to gas increases disorder, resulting in a positive change in entropy.

Sublimation of dry ice (solid CO2) to gas increases entropy as the gas phase has higher disorder than the solid phase.

An isobaric process is characterized by constant pressure.

Auxins are responsible for phototropism, the growth of plants towards light.

Dissolving salt in water is an endothermic process that increases the disorder of the system, thus increasing entropy.

Dissolving ammonium nitrate in water absorbs heat, making it an endothermic process.

The combustion of methane is an exothermic process, releasing heat.

Sublimation of solid iodine to gas involves a phase change from solid to gas, which has a significant increase in disorder, thus the largest increase in entropy.

Dissolving salt in water increases the number of particles in solution, leading to a significant increase in entropy.

Auxins influence various processes including phototropism, gravitropism, and apical dominance.

Free expansion of gas is an irreversible process that leads to an increase in entropy as the gas expands into a vacuum.

Free expansion is an irreversible process as it occurs without any external pressure acting on the gas.

An isochoric process is one that occurs at constant volume.
