No, never heard of such a comparison.
Entropy is a measure of how much of the energy of a system is available *) to do work and how much of it is manifest *) as heat.
*) Maybe one could say: potentiallyavailable and potentially manifest , but that is not the same as potential energy.
Clausius defined the change in entropydS of a thermodynamic system, during a reversible process, asdS = δQ / T
whereδQ is a small amount of heat introduced reversibly to the system,T is a constant absolute temperature

Which best describes respiration?
It converts Energy in food into a more usable form
Do the bonds of the products contain more or less energy than the original compounds?
less
What statements best describes cellular respiration?
It converts energy in food into a more usable form. (Cellular Respiration-The enzyme-controlled process in which energy is released from food and converted into a form that the cell can use.)
Why could a loss of chlorophyll limit cellular respiration and plants?
There would be less glucose produced for respiration.
The process through which animals obtain energy for use by the cell?
Unlike plants, who make their own food for energy with help from the sun, animals have to digest carbohydrates and such from external sources. The energy from the food is then turned into the more readily usable ATP by the mitochondria.
How do you convert Energy to Usable Forms?
over centuries, many different types of devices and systems have been developed for converting energy from forms provided by nature into forms usable by us. Some energy conversion devices are simple. For example, a traditional windmill transforms kinetic energy of the wind into mechanical energy for pumping water and grinding grain. Other conversion systems are more complex. For example there are several steps or processes on generating power at a nuclear power plant or a fossil fuel power plant.

Why electrical energy is a useful form of energy?
Because it is transfered to a long distance with less loses as compared to other form of energy A2. Electrical energy can be transported across "empty" space and can be stored and can be transformed to other forms of energy. A3. Electrical, much like geothermal, is a natural energy source that can be harvested from lightning and other weather related sources. In theory, we should be able to use these sources to create usable energy: the source producing more energy that it takes to harvest it in a plant.
If there is lots of particles in copperis there more energy or less energy?
water has the more energy. ice has less energy.
What are the benefits of upright freezers?
Chest freezers are better because they use less energy, have more usable space and are cheaper. They are easier to organize though. You can read more differences at http://housewares.about.com/od/refrigeratorsfreezers/a/chestvsupfreezr.htm
What are the two laws pf thermodynamics?
You can look the up, for example in Wikipedia, for a detailed definition. Informally, you can think of them as two "laws of energy": 1) Energy conservation (energy can't be created or destroyed) 2) Usable energy is constantly being converted into unusable energy. This will continue until no more usable energy is left.
Conditioned muscles rely less on what and more on what for energy?
less glycogen and more fat for energy
Where does energy go after its been used?
After energy has been used, the energy transforms to another type of energy. This energy is obviously not usable. This useless energy then collects in the sky to form more useful energies.
The energy released from fermanation is more or less?
less
What gives waves their energy?
Waves get their energy from the wind. The stronger the wind, the more energy the waves will have. If there is less wind, the waves will have less energy.
What are the three forms of science energy?
Science has identified more than 3 forms of energy. These include, heat, light, sound, momentum, chemical energy, gravitational potential energy, nuclear energy, etc.
