Three Steps
I want you to read this article on a plant that has lived in a sealed glass container, cut off from the outside for decades:
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2267504/The-sealed-bottle-garden-thriving-40-years-fresh-air-water.html
Explain what is wrong with the following statement: “This plant is violating the second law of thermodynamics. Since it is not exchanging materials with its environment it should not be alive at all. In fact, life is a violation of the second law of thermodynamics because living things are closed systems.”
Explain how the terrarium from the article is similar to the Earth as a whole.
