The second law of thermodynamics states that all energy transformations result in more disordered energy. How can photosynthesis take more disordered carbon dioxide and water and convert them into glucose, which is more ordered?

The addition of energy form the sun known as solar energy to the reaction in other to yield glucose.

Explanation:

The second law of thermodynamics states that all matter affected by energy are becoming more random. Indicting that there is a continuous increase in the entropy of the universe.  

In other words as a system loses energy to its surroundings. it becomes more random or experiences an increase in entropy

According to the second law of thermodynamics glucose would break down into CO₂ and H₂O under ordinary conditions, rather than fpr CO₂ to combine with H₂O to form glucose.

However due to the energy added through sunlight, the CO₂ and H₂Oare able to combine to form glucose.

note: the given question is incomplete.

complete question is given below.

which is an example of kinetic energy?

a. the energy stored in ethanol  

b. a hockey puck sliding across the ice  

c. a compressed spring  

d. a ball sitting at the top of a ramp

solution: the kinetic energy is the energy posses by the virtue of the motion of the object.

in the given options, a, c and d are the example of potential energy because it is the energy posses by the virtue of the rest of the object. but option b has the kinetic energy as the object is in motion.

hence, a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the apex example of kinetic energy.

so, the option (b) a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the correct option.
