hint 1.
consider what entropy measures.
life should be impossible
the quantity of usable energy declines with each energy transformation
energy can be neither created nor destroyed
it is not possible to observe an increase in molecular organization

Explanation:

Entropy is a measure of the amount of energy in a system that is unavailable to do work. In energy - transformation processes, the quantity of usable energy decreases as entropy increases. The first law of thermodynamics states that energy can be neither created nor destroyed. Entropy does not mean life should be impossible, and it is possible to have local increases in molecular organization.

Answer:

the quantity of usable energy declines with each energy transformation
