The statement "Carbon dioxide and water form glucose without the input of energy" is not correct. This process, known as photosynthesis, requires energy from the sun to occur. The rest of the statements are correct and relate to the second law of thermodynamics and the concept of entropy, which state that the amount of disorder in a system will tend to increase over time and that input of energy is required to maintain organization and decrease entropy.
