Which if the following is an application of the law of thermodynamics?

A. The amount of energy found in compounds on one side of an equation is always equal to that on the other side.


B. Living organisms represent an exception to the laws of energy


C. The quantity of energy does not increase or decrease in the universe.


D. Fungi and plants do not make their own energy but derive it from somewhere else


E. The level of entropy increases as time passes.

Which if the following is an application of the law of thermodynamics?
E is the classic illustration, except for the missinterpretation that leads some religious people to believe that B is true, when it certainly isn't.
Reply:E: entropy never quits. The other propositions are all false, although C is somewhat sitting on the fence, as mass and energy are the same thing, but is still not an application of the law of thermodynamics.
Reply:B is the correect answer
