What law of thermodynamics explains that you must eat in order to gain the energy to perform the functions of life?
This involves both the first and second laws of thermodynamics. According to the first law, the energy you expend must come from somewhere. You have to take in that energy in the form of the chemical energy contained in the food before you can expend energy to move yourself around, grow, heal, breath, etc. According to the second law, that energy will not flow into you spontaneously. You must expend energy to draw that energy into your body for use, in other words, you have to eat.
The life and death of cells are governed by?
The laws of thermodynamics - energy can be exchanged through physical systems as heat and/or work.
Which hypothesis about the fate of the universe says that it will expand continuously as the galaxies drift far apart and all stars as well as environments suitable to sustain life eventually die out?
The expansion is related to the Big Bang.The fact that an environment suitable to sustain life will eventually die out is a natural consequence of the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
How perpetual motion device can break the first and second law of the thermodynamics?
It can't. That's the simplest way to explain why no successful perpetual motion machine has ever been built. --------------------------------------------------------------- Another contributor persisted: well it's just a matter of time and life!
What happens second in a plants life cycle?
Photosynthesis is the second step in a plant's life cycle.
What is the second of thermodynamics and what does it imply?
The Second Law of Thermodynamics means that useful energy is continuously converted into useless energy. In other words, there are irreversible processes in the Universe. One important implication is that the Universe can't have existed forever, nor can it sustain life forever in the future.
How you know about the life in other parts of the universe?
Nothing whatsoever is know about life in other parts of the universe. It is not even known whether or not life exists anywhere outside the Solar System.

Why does thermodynamics not preclude the evolution of life on earth?
A common creationist misconception is that the Second Law of Thermodynamics prohibits things getting more complex. The law is usually misrepresented as demanding that "everything runs down." But if this were true, not just evolution would be impossible, but also the growth of an adult human from a fertilized egg cell.The simplest counter to the creationist argument that "thermodynamics precludes evolution" is to observe that the second law does *not* prohibit a temporary, localized reversal of entropy. In the case of life on Earth, the laws of gravity and chemistry, combined with the energy provided by the sun, provide the engine that drives a localized, temporary (on cosmic scales) reversal of entropy.
How can you become a couple in second life?
On the Second Life website, you can choose to become partnered to someone. The other person will have to accept the partnership, but once they do, you will be partnered in Second Life, and this will show in each of your profiles.
Is rainfall important in drier parts of the world?
yes,because to live the other people in the other drier parts of the world, and the animals have long life.
What is an application of the first law of thermodynamics in real life?
Conservation of energy is found in energy efficient appliances.
Is life Fitness one of the better parts makers?
Yes, Life Fitness parts is a reputable part maker which is why many gyms use its parts. There are other companies that have similar quality but this is a company with good reputation.
Is there any good games like second life?
to me personally IMVU is a good game, it may not be exactly like second life, but it comes close, the only difference is, is that isn't not indepth with character customization or moving around freely like second life. Although i have searched around for other games similar to second life and all that i have found don't compare to Second life. Second Life in my opinion is one of a kind.

Is there other virtual worl like imvu?
Eh, you could say Second Life. I've tried Second Life before but it seemed to bore me. But that's my opinion.
