Living organisms have a very low entropy. This is because their bodies are very neatly ordered. 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.

HLO MATE HERE IS UR ANSWER.
⭐. Second law of thermodynamics states that no process involving energy transformation will spontaneously occur unless there is degradation of energy .
⭐. Energy dispersed in the form of unavailable heat energy .
⭐. The organisms need a sonstant supply of energy to synthesize the molecules they require.
⭐. The amount of energy available decreases at successive trophic levels.
⭐. When an organism dies, it is converyed to detritus or dead biomass that serves as a source of energy for the decomposers.
