Biology

atroni [7]3 years ago

A vestigial structure is a structure that kind-of just "hangs out" in our bodies. We don't really need it, yet it is there. So, why is it there??? We probably needed it, for example, when we needed to digest plants. (Appendix) Some say that the appendix was used for digesting plants and berries, but it is really just speculation. We "evolved" to not need the appendix. 
Here are some other vestigial examples: wisdom teeth, tail bone, pelvic bone in a snake, and wings on a flightless bird.

What does entropy measure?
babymother [125]
Entropy means that system naturally progress from order to disorder. Entropy measures the level of this disorder or messiness. We can measure increase or decrease of entropy, for example by answering the question 'How a human being can avoid decay?' or by being concentrated on WHY the system is more organized and why it tends to grow.
