As a Leaf Grows, It Becomes More Organized

question 58

Multiple Choice

As a leaf grows, it becomes more organized. Does this process violate the law of entropy?

• A) No, because the sugars and other molecules of the leaf are formed at a high temperature, resulting in an overall increase of the total entropy.
• B) Yes; in fact, it is known that the law of entropy does not apply to biological processes such as the growth of a leaf, or biological evolution.
• C) No, because total energy is conserved in this process, despite the increased organization of the leaf.
• D) No, because the O₂ that is emitted during photosynthesis has greatly increased entropy, resulting in an overall increase of the total entropy.
• E) No, because the radiation passing through the leaf during this process increases its entropy, so that the total entropy increases.
