Some animals have adaptions to their circulatory system that enable them to transfer heat from arteries to veins, warming blood returning to the heart. This is called a countercurrent heat exchange; it prevents cold venous blood from cooling the heart and other internal organs.

Does the second law of thermodynamics only apply to living organisms

aliina [53]

The second law of thermodynamics states that the total entropy cannot decrease, only increase. This is why living organisms give off thermal energy: they lower their entropy, but the total entropy increases.

Not every member of a particular species (one kind of organism) must be able to reproduce in order for the species to survive. If you take homo sapiens for example (Humans) there are many males and females around the world who are sterile and unable to reproduce, yet you still see the human species flourishing.

Answer:

The correct answer is -

Decrease plant growth - decrease sunlight, decrease CO2, decrease H2O

NO effect - increase O2, decrease O2, increase C6H12O6, decrease C6H12O6

Increase plant growth - increase CO2, increase sunlight, increase H2O

Explanation:

Decrease in exposure of sunlight to the plant or less intense light will affect the production of oxygen and glucose negatively which affect the growth of the plant. Decrease CO2 will be affect the growth of the plant similarly as light and water molecules which is decreased in plant growth.

Increase in the in production of the products which are 02, glucose, will have no effect in plant growth though increase in the carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight will positively affect plant growth.

Thus, the correct answer is - decrease plant growth - decrease sunlight, decrease CO2, decrease H2O

no effect - increase O2, decrease O2, increase C6H12O6, decrease C6H12O6

increase plant growth - increase CO2, increase sunlight, increase H2O
