This argument would not be valid because it fails to take into account the <u>mechanisms </u><u>through which </u><u>evolution </u><u>occurs</u> and misunderstands the <u>second law </u><u>of </u><u>thermodynamics</u><u>.</u>
The second law of thermodynamics states that the total entropy of a system must always increase. The argument stating that this law disproves evolution given that evolution can be considered as a <u>decrease in entropy</u>, fails to realize that the <em><u>second law</u></em> states that the <u>total entropy </u>must increase, this does not mean that entropy cannot decrease at one point, to then increase more so at another.
The other aspect of evolution that this argument fails to account for is that evolution is a chaotic process. Evolution, though having a final product that may be considered as increasing in organization, is at heart <u>a </u><u>chaotic process </u><u>caused by</u><u> random mutations</u><u> and the fragile process of </u><u>natural selection</u><u>.</u> Therefore, rather than disprove it, the<em><u> second law of thermodynamics</u></em> is actually the driving force behind continued evolution.

Endotherms, such as birds and mammals, use metabolic heat to maintain a stable internal temperature, often one different from the environment. Ectotherms, like lizards and snakes, do not use metabolic heat to maintain their body temperature but take on the temperature of the environment.
Explanation:
When connected together by series of peptide bonds, amino acids form a polypeptide, another word for protein. The polypeptide will then fold into a specific conformation depending on other interactions (dashed lines) between its amino acid side chains.
The independent variable is what will change. The dependent variable is what will change because of the independent variable. The controlled variable is what will stay the same.
Ex, for the first one.
IV: the amount of sunlight
DV: plant growth
CV: pea plant
For #2.
IV: the soda
DV: the amount of sugar
CV: soda
