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.

Beta decay involves the emission of a positron, which is the antimatter counterpart of an electron.

Translation is the process that involves the synthesis of proteins from mRNA.

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

Convection is the process that involves the transfer of heat through a fluid (liquid or gas) due to the movement of the fluid itself.

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.

An isothermal process for an ideal gas is characterized by the condition that the temperature remains constant during the expansion or compression.

Allowing a gas to expand slowly while maintaining constant temperature is an isothermal process.

A static process does not involve any change in state variables, hence it is not considered a thermodynamic process.

Photosynthesis is not directly influenced by auxins; they mainly affect growth and development processes.

All the listed processes are governed by the First Law of Thermodynamics, so the answer is 'None of the above'.

Fruit ripening is primarily influenced by ethylene, not auxins.

Photosynthesis is a biochemical process that is not directly influenced by plant hormones.
