Adi S.
In which of the following does the second law of thermodynamics state that disorder will always increase? A. an individual molecule B. a single cell C. a whole organism D. an entire ecosystem E. an isolated system with no energy exchanged outside the system
John N.
What does it mean for a system to be in a higher level of entropy? How can it be reduced? a. Higher level of entropy refers to higher state of disorder in the system and it can be reduced by input of energy to lower the entropy. b. Higher level of entropy refers to higher state of symmetry in the system and it can be reduced by release of energy to lower the entropy. c. Higher level of entropy refers to low disorder in the system and it can be reduced by input of energy to increase the entropy. d. Higher level of entropy refers to higher state of disorder in the system and it can be reduced by providing a catalyst to lower the entropy.
