Does "life" work against entropy?

Question

Life forms are highly ordered systems. Are they the result of entropy or do these systems work against it?

Answer 1

In thermodynamics, entropy represents the amount of energy in a system that is no longer available for doing work. It increases as all matter and energy in the universe ultimately degrades to a state of inert uniformity.

In other words, everything eventually wears out and comes to an end.

Answer 2

the earth is not an isolated system. we get energy from the sun. life neither contradicts, nor is the result of, entropy

Answer 3

Yes, life requires things to be very orderly, entropy is the natural trend for disorder.  The proof is that life requires the consumption of energy.
