The second law of thermodynamics states that all energy transformations result in more disordered energy.How can photosynthesis take more disordered carbon dioxide and water and convert them into glucose which is more ordered?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The second law of thermodynamics applies to energy transformation within a closed system. In photosynthesis, solar energy is being added to the system, which is not considered in the law. The energy from sunlight allows the carbon dioxide and water molecules to become more ordered, resulting in the production of glucose. Therefore, choice D is correct.
