Question

Does the death of an organism result in increased or decreased entropy

Answer 1

Answer;

Increased

Death of an organism results to an increased entropy because as soon as an organism dies, another one is formed.

Explanation;

Entropy  is the measure of the unusable energy that escapes when energy is being converted.

The 'heat-death' of the universe is when the universe has reached a state of maximum entropy. This happens when all available energy (such as from a hot source) has moved to places of less energy (such as a colder source). Once this has happened, no more work can be extracted from the universe. Since heat ceases to flow, no more work can be acquired from heat transfer.
