The fact that energy transformation increase the amount of entropy is the basis of which of the following? Oxidation-reduction reactions First law of thermodynamics Cell theory Second law of thermodynamics

## Step 1<br />The problem is asking us to identify the principle that is based on the fact that energy transformation increases the amount of entropy. Entropy is a measure of the disorder or randomness in a system.<br /><br />## Step 2<br />The Second Law of Thermodynamics states that in any energy transfer or transformation, the total entropy of a system and its surroundings will always increase over time. This means that energy transformations tend to increase the amount of disorder or entropy in a system.<br /><br />## Step 3<br />The other options, such as Oxidation-reduction reactions, the First Law of Thermodynamics, and Cell theory, do not directly relate to the concept of entropy increasing due to energy transformation.
