Living organisms increase in complexity as they grow, resulting in a decrease in the entropy of an organism. how does this relate to the second law of thermodynamics?
a) living organisms do not obey the second law of thermodynamics, which states that entropy must increase with time.
b) life obeys the second law of thermodynamics because the decrease in entropy as the organism grows is exactly balanced by an increase in the entropy of the universe.
c) as a consequence of growing, organisms cause a greater increase in entropy in their environment than the decrease in entropy associated with their growth.
d) living organisms are able to transform energy into entropy.
