Damm [24]1 year ago

The second law is the trend toward randomization, or increasing entropy.  

Second law allows for diffusion because diffusion is an increase in entropy .Diffusion is the process of movement of molecule down the concentration gradient until they doesn't exist . This movement represents an increase in the entropy.

Second Law of Thermodynamics state that molecules will spontaneously move towards an area of lower concentration, from an area of higher concentration. Molecule are capable to travel across cell membranes known as lipophilic molecules as they dissolve in the lipid bilayer. Movement represents an increase in the entropy or disorder in the system .

Describe the first three life cycle stages of a frog.​
Masteriza [31]

Answer:   The correct answer is as follows:

Stage 1) Egg - Frogs begin their life as fertilized eggs. A typical female frog can lay thousands of eggs, depending on the species. In the pond, the eggs float on the water in clusters until they hatch in 2-3 weeks.

Stage 2) Larva (tadpole) - During the tadpole stage, the frogs eat, grow and develop into froglets (with four legs) through a process called metamorphosis. As tadpoles, they rely on rudimentary gills, mouths, and tails for swimming. The tadpole's diet includes other frog eggs, bugs, mosquito larvae, and other dead insects. As their four legs and external respiration develops, the froglet is almost ready to leave the water.

Stage 3) Adult - At around 12 weeks of age, the frog has reached maturity as an adult and is ready to explore dry land. With its gills and tail totally absorbed back into the body, the frog remains an amphibian but spends most of its time out of the water. As an adult, the frog uses its sticky tongue to capture and eat insects, snails, slugs, and worms. They return to the water to lay new eggs and the cycle of life repeats.
