Question

Ecosystem is not accepted by which law of thermodynamics
A. First law
B. Zeroth law
C. Second law
D. Third law

Answer 1

Hint: An ecosystem is a society of living organisms in juxtaposition with the nonliving components of their environment, interacting as a system. These living and nonliving components are linked together through nutrient cycles and energy flows.

Complete Answer:
- An ecosystem is a geographic area where plants, animals, and other organisms, in addition to weather and landscape, work jointly to form a bubble of life. Ecosystems have biotic or (living, parts,) as well as abiotic factors, (nonliving parts). Biotic factors or living parts include plants, animals, and other organisms. Abiotic factors or non-living parts include rocks, temperature, and humidity.

- Each part of an ecosystem depends on every other factor, either directly or indirectly. An alteration in the temperature of an ecosystem will habitually involve what plants will grow there, such as animals that depend on plants for food and protection will have to become accustomed to the changes, move to another ecosystem, or die.

- Ecosystems can be too large or too small. All factors in an ecosystem depend on every other factor, either honestly or not directly. An alteration in the temperature of an ecosystem will often affect the plants that will be growing in that environment.

- The second law of thermodynamics, also known as the law of entropy may be affirmed as no process concerning an energy conversion will instinctively occur unless there is a degradation of energy from a concentrated form into a dispersed form. The second law of thermodynamics also stated that some energy is always dispersed into unavailable heat energy, no spontaneous transformation of energy into potential energy is 100 percent efficient.

- The organisms, ecosystems and the intact ecosphere acquire the essential thermodynamic characteristic. They can generate and maintain a high state of internal order, or a condition of low entropy Low entropy is achieved by constantly and resourcefully dissipating the energy of high utility like light or food, into the energy of low utility that is heated.

So the correct answer to this question is option C, second law.

Note: The second law of thermodynamics states that whenever energy is distorted, there is a loss of energy through the release of heat. This occurs when energy is transferred between trophic levels as in a food web. When one animal feeds another, there is a loss of heat or energy in the process.
