Some people argue that evolution, which is generally associated with progressive increases in the

yKpoI14uk [10]3 years ago
8 0

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.

If chemical bonds did not exist, or were so strong that they never broke apart, there would be no movement of ______, which is r
ch4aika [34]

Answer: Energy

Explanation:

If there is no chemical bonds in the substance or the bonds in the substances are so strong so there would be no energy released.

This is because there is a need of energy when any bond is formed and energy is released when bonds are broken down.

Energy is stored in the bonds which is released when bonds are broken down.

There would be no energy available for various processes and no movement of energy will take place.

What is the difference between casual observers and scientific observers?
babunello [35]
There are different types of observers. Casual observers differ from scientific observer. Seeing and observing are two different things. Not that everybody seeing is actually observing the thing.
A casual observer just sits back and watch for something to happen while a scientific observer comes up with some hypothesis to work on it.

Which enzyme is responsible for laying down the daughter nucleotides during DNA replication?
DaniilM [7]

Answer: C
