Question

How do living organisms create macromolecules, organelles, cells, tissues, and complex higher-order structures?
A.The laws of thermodynamics do not apply to living organisms.
B.Living organisms create order by using energy from the sun.
C.Living organisms create order locally, but the energy transformations generate waste heat that increases the entropy of the universe.

Answer 1

Answer:

C.Living organisms create order locally, but the energy transformations generate waste heat that increases the entropy of the universe.

Explanation:

Entropy is a concept of thermodynamics that measures the disorder of particles in a physical system. Living organisms create some disorder through reactions that generate waste heat so that through heat-shaped energy, organelles capable of generating macromolecules, organelles, cells, tissues, and higher-order complex structures are ordered.
