Biology is immune from the laws of thermodynamics because biology has a higher law, a superior principle, the submission of all to Evolution, from which flows a continual stream of order and, when necessary, heat.

Do the laws of thermodynamics hold in the inside of an atom?

Yes - the laws of thermodynamics apply even at the subatomic level. It is a little tricky applying them correctly however because you have to take quantum physics into account and some of the functions we usually write as continuous functions have to be re-cast in discrete value form.

Will all the chemical reactions are obey thermodynamics law?

No one has yet documented a case where a chemical reaction does not obey the laws of thermodynamics - so - yes - all the chemical reactions will obey the laws of thermodynamics. On a philosophic note: since no exceptions to the theories that constitute thermodynamics have been observed, we consider them "laws". Should we ever find an exception, we will have to modify the theories to craft new rules that will then be considered "laws". That's how science works.
