How is the body able to counteract the effects of entropy?
If entropy is taken to mean the amount of "randomness," then you could fight it by organizing matter (e.g. clean up your room). But in time, everything tends towards disorder; entropy increases.
What changes a liquid or a solid to a gas?
usually a change in temperature.... OR PRESSURE Which all mean a change in entropy of the system
Why is a cell forced to divide?
it's the problem of surface area -to- volume ratio that mean there is no fitting between increasing of surface area and increasing of volume
What does it mean for scientist to reject a hypothesis?
That he either found it to be incorrect or heard from a majority of other scientists working in the same field of study that the hypothesis isn't true. Though it's almost always the first one I said.
What does the name jolan mean?
My name is Jolan & it has to meanings, god is increasing or Violet Blossom. :]
Is it possible for entropy to be negative and For entropy change to be negative and For entropy production to be negative?
Assuming you mean can entropy be reduced; the answer is yes. Only in an open system such as our planet. The universe is a closed systems. The entropy of the universe cannot be reduced. Chemical changes can reduced entropy in an open system. When gas turns into a liquid or when a liquid turns into a solid; entropy is reduced.
According to the second law of thermodynamics does entropy increase in a cold system?
That depends on what you mean by "cold" system. Entropy in any system can do one of three things: increase, decrease, or remain constant. If the system is closed, then entropy will only ever increase. If the system is open, entropy within it can do any of the three, provided there is a corresponding change in entropy outside the system (energy must come from or go to somewhere to effect an entropy change). The absolute amount of energy in the system makes no difference to the entropy of it. It is whether you have an open or closed system that counts.

Why is a hypothesis that is unsupported by observation rejected by scientists?
Simply put, because there is not enough evidence to support it. "Rejected by scientists" should not be taken to always mean "scientist believe it is impossible" - rather, consistent evidence that support the hypothesis has not been produced.
Does standard form mean decreasing or increasing?
Standard form has nothing to do with increasing or decreasing.
What does not increasing mean?
Not increasing means not getting larger, not getting more, not growing. Examples: The area of rock on the beach is not increasing in size. The money in her savings account is not increasing because she stopped putting money in it. The tree's truck is not increasing in circumference because the tree is dead. The opposite of increasing is decreasing, but not increasing does not mean something is decreasing. It means it is staying the same.
