Answer to Question #41283 in Other 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”
