24
Q

What is thermodynamics

A

Study of heat ,movement and energy

25
Q

What is energy

A

The measure of the system’s ability to do work

26
Q

Energy is required to do what

A

Work

27
Q

Evolution is what

A

An upward movement in order and complexity

28
Q

What is the first law of thermodynamics

A

Matter and energy can neither be created nor destroyed. all matter and energy in the universe is being conserved

29
Q

According to evolution where did the original matter and energy come from

A

Faith

30
Q

What is the second law of thermodynamics also referred to

A

The law of increasing entropy

31
Q

What is the second law of thermodynamics

A

Energy goes from state of usable energy to a state of less useable energy for doing working in isolated system

32
Q

What does the second law of thermodynamics also state

A

Entropy of the entire universe always increases

33
Q

What is entropy

A

A measure of the unavailability of a systems energy to do work

34
Q

What are the three types of systems

A

Open, closed, isolated

35
Q

Does the definition of evolution apply to all types of evolution

A

No evolution plus change

36
Q

Does this definition apply to microevolution

A

No every change that takes place isn’t major

37
Q

Mutations don’t produce what

A

New evolution

38
Q

Give three examples of genetic variation

A

Dogs cats people

39
Q

Did microevolution lead to Macroevolution

A

No

40
Q

A type of bird with different sizes and shapes of beaks is an example of

A

Genetic variation

41
Q

Can natural selection cause one kind to becoming a new species

A

No it works only in existing information

42
Q

Natural selection mean Two things

A

Survival of the fittest and the ability to adapt to the environment

43
Q

Give one reason why mutations are not a valid argument for how life evolved

A

There is no known mutation that caused an increase in definition

44
Q

What is an example of a cow changing into whale overtime

A

Macro evolution

45
Q

What is an example of a seven foot person and a five foot person

A

Genetic variation

46
Q

What is an example of a random mutation in DNA

Genetic variation

47
Q

In order for macro evolution to occur what must be added to DNA

A

Information

48
Q

Hypothesis is a

A

An unverified scientific explanation

49
Q

What does heat measure

A

The molecular velocity within a system

50
Q

Hot always flows to

A

Cold

51
Q

What is equilibrium

A

When all molecules in the system are moving at the same velocity

52
Q

What is the difference between an open system and it isolated system

A

Open: exchange both matter and energy within surroundings

Isolated: cannot exchange matter or energy with surroundings

53
Q

How does the second law of thermodynamics relate to chemical evolution

A

Describe flow of energy in nature. how did cells organized themselves with less usable energy
