Question

Entropy is greater at higher trophic levels than at lower levels.
True of False

Answer 1

any guess

Answer 2

I would say true because entropy increases throughout every change or reaction. Entropy never decreases.

Answer 3

True?

Answer 4

@deepika.comet

Answer 5

whats entropy @BioEpic

Answer 6

Entropy is the measure of the disorder of a system.

Answer 7

can it be heat..??

Answer 8

It is a thermodynamic term, and entropy always increases.
Entropy is not heat.

Answer 9

the the answer is false

some consider entropy to be heat

Answer 10

heat always decreases from one trophic level to the higher

Answer 11

Say you have a neat room. Over time the entropy, or the messiness of the room will increase, and you will have a dirty room.

Answer 12

so its FALSE

Answer 13

Yeah, but so does entropy.

Answer 14

It is true.

Answer 15

The higher the trophic level, the more energy exchanges that have taken place, and therefore the entropy is higher.

Answer 16

it is false

Answer 17

Why? Can you explain your reasoning?

Answer 18

umm

i just thought so it decreases from the lower level to the higher

Answer 19

what do you say @Spikers

Answer 20

No, that's not true. The lower levels are producers, like grass. Suppose you take sunlight, which has say 100% energy. 10% of the energy is passed to the consumer, deer, and the rest is wasted as heat energy, raising the entropy (heat and entropy are different). As the steps are reapeated to higher energy levels, the entropy increases.

Answer 21

I think it's true, Correct? @BioEpic

Answer 22

Yeah, that's what I would say.

Answer 23

ok so i go with you people lets say TRUE

Answer 24

Thanks!

Answer 25

It is correct

Answer 26

Would you be surprised if I said I was 13?

Answer 27

what..?

Answer 28

lol

Answer 29

ohh

Answer 30

so you say entropy is different from heat

Answer 31

You're a smart kid

Answer 32

Thanks.

Answer 33

extraordinary for that age

Answer 34

Not sure what the answer was but I passed my quiz so I'm good lol

Answer 35

good be like that study well

for both

ALL THE BEST for your future studies

Answer 36

Yeah, heat is a form of energy while entropy is just the measure of disorder. When energy is lost from a usable form (ex: electricity) to a less useful form (ex: heat), the entropy increases.

Answer 37

so there are inversly proportional

Answer 38

not really, they are different entities. I am not sure how to explain it.. I had to study a college book with calc to understant this.

Answer 39

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy

Answer 40

take time my friend dont just struggle for that

Answer 41

I won third place in a state competition for thermodynamics so I know it very well.

Answer 42

ohh which state you belong to

Answer 43

California.

Answer 44

ohh

Answer 45

Can u fan me?

Answer 46

why so

Answer 47

???

Answer 48

fan

Answer 49

Yeah.

Answer 50

Like... become someone's fan? I already became your fan and gave you a testimonial.
