Verified step by step guidance

Understand that thermodynamics is the study of energy transformations and exchanges, which are fundamental to all biological processes.

Recognize that chemical processes in organisms, such as metabolism, are governed by thermodynamic principles, specifically the laws of energy conservation and entropy.

Consider how organisms exchange energy with their environment, such as through heat transfer, which is explained by thermodynamics.

Acknowledge that all life on Earth relies on energy exchanges, from cellular respiration to photosynthesis, which are described by thermodynamic principles.

Conclude that the principles of thermodynamics are crucial for understanding the energy dynamics in biological systems, supporting the statement that all options are correct.
