- What is the relationship between homeostasis and entropy?arrow_forwardSTs anonools noriw ansgged tenW (4 39) 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 the entropy of an organism increases with each energy transformation. B) The decrease in entropy is associated with growth of an organism. As a consequence of growth, organisms cause a greater increase in entropy in their environment than the decrease inarrow_forwardDefine entropy and enthalpy. Do living cells increase entropy within themselves? Do they increase entropy in the environment?arrow_forward
