Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An increase in entropy is associated with an increase in disorder or randomness. This is evident in the other options as they all result in a breakdown of organized structures or systems, leading to more disorder. However, glucose molecules from photosynthesis represent an increase in organization as they are produced from the disordered molecules of carbon dioxide and water through a highly regulated process. Therefore, the correct answer is D.
