Essentially by the continuous transfer of molecules in and out of the cell - glucose is a good example of a molecule the cell continually needs to take in.

yes, but they would die. Once, for instance, a human body reaches equilibrium, they are dead. The cells stop functioning once equilibrium is met.

How do natural systems move toward entropy?

Basically everything will reach an equilibrium, and homogeneous mixture of "everything", if given enough time. Living systems stay living by maintain a specific range of disequilibrium within its components (for the most part). The 2nd Law of thermodynamics states basically that temperature, pressure, and chemical potential goes into equilibrium given enough time. this equilibrium is entropy, when things become compartmentalized (ordered) its always do to living systems.


Do living Cells reach equilibrium?

Yes. They are constantly involved in the process called Dynamic Equilibrium. For example, when more Sucrose is available in the cytoplasm - then the Cell makes less of the Sucrase enzyme.

How many generation is required of a random mating to reach equilibrium if the population if the population is not in equilibrium?

In a non-equilibrium population, the number of generations needed for random mating to reach equilibrium depends on various factors such as population size, selection pressure, genetic diversity, and mutation rate. It can range from a few generations to many generations, and sometimes equilibrium may not be reached due to ongoing evolutionary forces.
