Cells create organized structures by taking in less organized starting materials (ie make proteins from amino acids). If this is true, how do cells not violate the 2nd law of thermodynamics?

Open Ended

In comparison to early life on Earth, organisms today are highly organized and complex. How does this increase in organization over time not violate the 2nd law of thermodynamics?

The common cold is a viral infection that affects the upper respiratory tract. Symptoms include a cough, runny nose, and fever. a) Identify what happens to the body when it has a fever. b) Explain why having a fever is beneficial in fighting off the virus. c) Explain why having a long-term fever (3+ days) can be dangerous to the human body.
