Which of the following types of reactions would decrease the entropy within a cell? a. dehydration reaction, b. hydrolysis, c. respiration, d. digestion, e. catabolism

Answer;

A. Dehydration reactions.

Explanation;Dehydration reactions refer to chemical events where a water molecule is lost because of the presence of another reacting molecule.Dehydration reaction is said to cause a decrease in entropy in various cells. Entropy within a cell refers to a state of inner instability secondary to different energies provided by the different molecular components.When the water component is removed,  there will be less molecular energy and therefore decreased entropy.
