How does one explain the nature of living things if the secound law of thermodynamics is correct?
An oversimplification of the second law of thermodynamics would state, "Everything cools down." Then the nature of living things would be the need to add energy to counter this cooling down. Humans add this energy by eating food and combining it with oxygen. Thus, the food and oxygen produces energy that can be lost to entropy.

Explain the second law of thermodynamics and explain why it is not violated by living organisms?
this increase in organization over time in no way violates the second law. The entropy of a particular system, such as an organism, may actually decrease, so long as the total entropy of the universe-the system plus its surroundings-increases. Thus, organisms are islands of low entropy in an increasingly random universe. The evolution of biological order is perfectly consistent with the laws of thermodynamics.
Are the energy conversions that takes place in living systems governed by the same laws of thermodynamics that govern non-living systems?
Absolutely. The laws of thermodynamics do no require determining whether a system contains living things or not in order to be applied.To get work out of a train engine you have to supply it with energy - in the form of electricity or chemical energy from coal or oil or diesel.To get work out of human being you have to supply them with energy in the form of the chemical energy contained in the food they eat.The equations for both are the same - only the sources of the energy change - and frankly you could still burn food in a train engine boiler, it just wouldn't be as efficient.
Which law of thermodynamics is the reason that you need a constant input of energy to drive biological systems?
The Second Law of Thermodynamics states that a system with no energy input and no losses will tend towards a zero energy state. This is essentially the entropy of any energy exchange. Thus, you require a constant input of energy to maintain any system.
What role does the second law of thermodynamics play in the context of AP Biology?
The second law of thermodynamics in AP Biology helps explain how energy flows within living organisms. It states that energy transformations increase the disorder or entropy of a system. This law is important in understanding processes like metabolism and cellular respiration, which involve the transfer of energy and the production of waste heat.
How does biology relate to physical science?
Biology is a branch of science that focuses on the study of living organisms and their interactions with the environment, while physical science deals with the study of non-living systems such as physics and chemistry. However, biology also incorporates principles from physical sciences like physics and chemistry to explain biological processes at a molecular and cellular level. For example, understanding the laws of thermodynamics helps explain how energy is transferred within living organisms.
What are some connections between 2nd law of thermodynamics and living things?

Is it correct to say the family where or were or was in the living room?
It is correct to say "The family was in the living room." "Was" is the correct verb to use when referring to a singular subject, such as "family."
Should science pursue the synthesis of a living cell Yes or No Explain?
should science pursue the synthesis of a living cell. Yes or No. Explain
Is death inevitable?
Yes. To live forever would violate the laws of thermodynamics. The only way not to would be to have no changes, which would not be living.
Is a spider web nonliving?

That is the correct spelling of "livable" (suitable for living, worth living, habitable).
Which statement is correct people who are living there or people who live there?
The "live there" is more technically correct. However, either may be correct. "People who live there" has a context of ordinarily or typically. "(The) People who are living there (now) is a current context.
