Answer to Question #41283 in Biology for qwerty

Question

Increased entropy leads to :-
(1) Growth
(2) Death
(3) Increase free energy
(4) Adaptations

Answer 1

The Second Law of Thermodynamics states that the disorder in the universe, more formally called entropy, is continuously increasing. The overall increase in entropy represents a "loss" which can never be replaced. Thus, the fact that the entropy of the universe is steadily increasing, means that its total energy is becoming less useful: eventually, this will lead to the “heat death of the Universe”
