Biological Relations to Entropy

[Denja1H]

How does entropy relate to the concept of disorder in a biological system, such as a cell? I know Lavelle discussed the concept a lot but I don't understand application

During state changes, we always see a change in entropy, as the molecules become more or less disordered. In cells, many reactions result in a change in entropy, like when ADP is converted into ATP, entropy is decreased (if I remember correctly). State changes are just more obvious forms of change in disorder, but enthaloy change happens in all types of reactions surrounding us.

Biological systems need to function need to function so they are highly ordered. However if there has been evidence that diseases like Alzheimers have been linked to entropy in the body. Since the boyd is an open system energy can flow in and out and the body is therefore good at managing entropy and enthalpy.
