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) living organisms do not follow the laws of thermodynamics.
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.

Air is contained in a variable-load piston-cylinder device equipped with a paddle wheel. initially, air is at 400 kpa and 17°c. the paddle wheel is now turned by an external electric motor until 75 kj/kg of work has been transferred to air. during this process, heat is transferred to maintain a constant air temperature while allowing the gas volume to triple. calculate the required amount of heat transfer in kj/kg.
