The second law of thermodynamics states that in any spontaneous process, the total entropy of the universe always increases, meaning that energy transformations are never completely efficient and some energy is inevitably lost as heat. Entropy is a measure of disorder or randomness, and this law implies that natural processes tend to move from a state of order to disorder unless energy is continuously supplied from an external source. In living organisms, the second law is clearly applicable even though they maintain a high degree of internal order. Organisms are open systems that constantly exchange energy and matter with their surroundings. They take in energy-rich substances such as food
