<h2>Second law of thermodynamics</h2>

Explanation:

  • Living organisms are highly organizational and therefore it seems  that it feeds from “negative entropy” or, by other words, maintaining and getting to a stationary  condition where the entropy level is low.
  • Nevertheless it is necessary to understand that the proper definition of the second law of  thermodynamics says that the entropy of an adiabatically isolated system never decreases.
  • In this  context a living cell or organism is not an isolated system, since it gets the nutrients from the exterior,  that is, there is an exchange of heat or matter with the environment, and by doing so, we have to  consider the system as an open one, together with its environment, restoring the balance to the universe  in an increase of entropy, or by other words, increase of disorder.

Contrast primary succession and secondary succession. Give an example of each.
just olya [345]

Answer:

Primary succession occurs following an opening of a pristine habitat, for example, a lava flow, an area left from retreated glacier, or abandoned strip mine. In contrast, secondary succession is a response to a disturbance, for example, forest fire, tsunami, flood, or an abandoned field.

slava [35]

Answer:

The correct answer would be D)  tissue.

In biology, the level of organisation from simplest to complex level can be summarized as:

Organelles → cells → tissues → organs → organ systems → organisms → populations →communities → ecosystem → biosphere.

It is clear that tissue is organization level that exists between cells and organs.

When similar cells are assembled together to perform specific function, the assembly or this organization is said to be the tissue.

There can be different types of tissues such as muscle tissue, nerve tissue et cetera.

Similarly, tissues arrange themselves to carry out specific function in the form of organ.

For example, heart is made up of cardiac tissue.
