Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cells do not require 100% efficiency to function; in fact, no biological process is 100% efficient due to the second law of thermodynamics, which states that every energy transfer or transformation increases the entropy of the universe. Cells do require molecular building blocks for construction and repair, energy for metabolism, information (usually in the form of DNA or RNA) to direct cellular processes, and chemical catalysts (such as enzymes) to speed up chemical reactions.
