00:01 Hello everyone, in this question we have to explain the second law of thermodynamics and also describe that why do cells not violate it? so the second law of thermodynamics, it states that energy of an isolated system moves from hotter to colder objects.
00:51 Now when coming to cells, cell, cell, gain or release a system.
00:59 Energy from their environment.
01:15 So because of this, they are considered as open systems...
