New page

Second law of [[Thermodynamics|thermodynamics]] states that the degree of disorder always increases spontaneously in an isolated system or in the universe as a whole, it can never decrease.

The measure of the disorder in a system is called the [[Entropy|entropy]] of a system.<ref name="null">ALBERTS, B. et al. (2014) Essential Cell Biology (4th ed), New York: Garland Science, Taylor &amp; Francis Group.(Pg.85)</ref>

If a system (for example, an organism) is not isolated, its entropy can decrease, provided that the entropy of its surroundings increases.
