Study the graph carefully. Notice that exergonic reactions result in products of lower energy. This increases entropy. Justify a claim about how a cell can maintain life functions when entropy is increasing.

Answer:
The answer for this is: The way a cell can maintain life functions when entropy is increasing is because of spontaneous process. Spontaneous process is a process that occurs without an overall input of energy; a process that is energetically favorable.
So when entropy, a measure of molecular disorder or randomness, increases like seen in the graph the reaction produces more products. This can also be seen in rich molecules such as glucose. For each molecule of glucose, two molecules of ATP are hydrolyzed to provide energy this oxidation to be harnessed to produce energy-rich activated carrier molecules. Without this replenishment of NAD+, glycolysis could not continue.
