The Energy of Life

Regardless of the circumstances, life finds a way! Jurassic Park got that one right. Cells need to live and depending on the conditions they will use one of two systems that take nutrients, break them down and use that process to generate energy. That energy is needed to sustain life – hence why it is called The Energy of Life. All the order that you see in the night sky, like planets, star clusters and galaxies, are due to an incredible amount of energy in the universe, creating order out of chaos. The amount of chaos and disorder is measured in entropy. In this episode, the energy of life, entropy and how we convert, store and use energy is explored. Visit www.nlorem.org
