Explain how the flow of energy is linked to entropy and how the law of conservation of matter applies to the carbon cycle

The first law of thermodynamics is equivalent to the law of conservation of energy: energy cannot be created or destroyed; the total amount of energy in the Universe is fixed. Energy can be transformed from one form to another or transferred from one place to another but the total energy must remain unchanged.

lizards have adapted to life in the desert. some desert lizards have toes with spiny scales to them run across the sand without sinking. some use the sand to hide from predators, or to search for small animals that they prey upon.
