Cellular respiration does not reduce entropy in the overall universe; instead, it increases it. While the process organizes energy from glucose into usable forms (like ATP) within cells, it ultimately releases heat and waste products, contributing to greater disorder in the surroundings. Therefore, while local entropy may decrease during the formation of ATP, the total entropy of the system and its environment increases according to the second law of thermodynamics.

Why is entropy irreversible?
It's not that entropy can't be reversed, it's that the entropy of the universe is always increasing. That means that while you can reduce the entropy of something, the entropy of another thing must go up even more so that in total, the entropy goes up.
What controls cell membrane?
Entropy. The cell membrane does what it does because its energetically favourable for it to do it.
When someone order something don't he reduce entropy of the universe?
No. You can reduce the entropy of some system, but that will be at the cost of an entropy increase somewhere else. This is because it costs energy to put something in order. The TOTAL entropy in the Universe will always increase. For example, the entropy on planet Earth probably remains more or less constant over millions of years - but we do so using energy, mainly from the Sun, and the fact that energy from the Sun radiates into space is an increase of entropy; much greater than any small change of entropy on our planet.
What is the cell organelle for cellular respiration?
Cell respiration occurs in the mitochondria.
What types of reaction would decrease the entropy within a cell?
Synthesis reactions such as dehydration synthesis. For a reaction to proceed the there must be a net decrease in the Gibbs Free Energy of the system. The Gibbs Free Energy is made up of two terms: Enthalpy or Heat Content H Entropy S For a reaction in which the entropy is increasing to proceed there would have to be a sufficient release of heat content (enthalpy) such that Change in Free Energy G would be negative, ie decrease...
What is another name for tissue respiration?
Cell Respiration
What takes place in a cell's mitochondria?
Aerobic respiration takes place. It generates energy in cell
What are types of cell respiration?
Aerobic and anaerobic respiration .
Do all cells have cell respiration?
Yes,every cell need energy.So every cell have to undergo cellular respiration
What is the purpose of cellular respiration in a cell?
The purpose of cellular respiration in an eukaryotic cell is to break down carbohydrates and to give the cell energy in the form of ATP. Cellular respiration in the eukaryotic cell takes place in the mitochondria.
Where does respiration happen in a cell?
animal cell i think
What type of cell does cell respiration occur in?
plant cell
