b) (2) is correct but (1) is wrong statement
c) Both (1) & (2) are correct
d) Both (1) & (2) are incorrect
Ans - C. Life is highly ordered, so living organisms should have
much lower entropy than their non-living constituents. In fact, using
energy to create and maintain order is one of the key signatures of
life! One implication of life having low entropy is that life is
improbable, which so far seems to be true based on the limited
observations we have of other planets. But another implication is
that living things act to reduce entropy locally, in the organism, there
must be a corresponding increase in entropy somewhere else to
offset that reduction. This is required because of the second law of
thermodynamics, which says that by far the most statistically
probable outcome is an entropy increase. Increasing entropy is a
measure of disorder in an ageing system, where death is the
ultimate or maximum disorder.
