The organization of organisms has increased in complexity throughout time. In light of this trend, which of the following is true? A.) As organisms increase in complexity, the entropy in the surrounding universe correspondingly increases.
B.) Each organism is considered a closed system, and therefore, increased organism complexity has no relationship to the laws of thermodynamics.
C.) Organisms increase in complexity to maintain homeostasis with the decrease in entropy of the surrounding universe.
D.) The increase in organism complexity is a function of evolution, not thermodynamics.

Consider an organism that is eukaryotic, found in both unicellular and multicellular forms, may resemble a plant but is not photosynthetic, has chitin in its cell walls, and absorbs organic nutrients from decomposing material in the environment. this organism would be classified as which of the following types of organisms? a. fungib. protozoac. bacteriad. archaea

Osmosis is often viewed incorrectly as a process driven directly by differences in solute concentration across a selectively permeable membrane. what really drives osmosis? view available hint(s)osmosis is often viewed incorrectly as a process driven directly by differences in solute concentration across a selectively permeable membrane. what really drives osmosis? the first law of thermodynamicsthe difference in the height of water columns on either side of a selectively permeable membranethe difference in water concentration across a selectively permeable membranethe difference in sugar or ion concentration across a selectively permeable membrane

Cold case files recently began re-investigating an old murder case. the murder took place in the park; a young man, james, was hit over the head with a brick and killed. police suspected the jealous former boyfriend of james' wife, karen. whoever killed james may have washed their hands in a near-by bird bath as detectives found blood in the bird bath. since the murder took place before dna fingerprinting was available, the suspected killer, ronnie, went free. detectives are now reviewing the blood evidence using dna fingerprinting. based on the dna fingerprints of all possible suspects, who is james' killer?
