What is a cell?
... No!! Not because of energy conservation. But because Q is a lower quality of energy. To convert it to mechanical energy, E, you will always get less than Q, E < Q -> Mechanical energy = high quality • Q is in the Brownian motion of atoms – larger if T grows. The randomness is measured by S (entropy) ...
