Thermodynamics

This is the movement of heat. There are two laws of thermodynamics. The first is called ‘conservation’ and it states that “energy can be changed from onr form to another, but it can not be created or destroyed” (Reference: www.emc.mricopa.edu/faculty/farabee/BIOBK/BioBookEnerl.html ( last modified on Wednesday 6th June 2007)).
The second law states that “in all energy exchange, if no energy enters or leaves the system, the potential energy of the state will always be less than that of the initial state” (Reference: www.emc.mricopa.edu/faculty/farabee/BIOBK/BioBookEnerl.html ( last modified on Wednesday 6th June 2007)). This is known as entropy. Entropy is said to be a measure of disorder. “Entropy wins when organisms cease to take in energy and die”. (Reference: www.emc.mricopa.edu/faculty/farabee/BIOBK/BioBookEnerl.html ( last modified on Wednesday 6th June 2007)). Both these laws were invented by Rudolf Clausius. (1822-1888)
