    2. 2nd Law
      1. Energy conversions reduce the order of the universe and increase its entropy
        1. Some energy becomes unusable
          1. Some energy is converted to heat
            1. Associated with random molecular motion
              1. Cells cannot use heat to perform work
                1. Lost to surroundings
                  1. Release leads to entropy
