Energodynamic Theory of Biological Evolution
thermodynamics of biosystems, evolution and involution, processes of relaxation and metabolism, bioenergetics and survival
Abstract
The article outlines a more general energodynamic theory of biosystems, considering their global and local heterogeneity with the help of added nonequilibrium parameters. The theory returns the concepts of force, speed, and power of real processes to thermodynamics and complements the theory of irreversible processes by considering the useful (reversible) component of real processes. It is shown that relaxation processes in some degrees of freedom of biosystems are accompanied by work "against equilibrium" in other degrees of freedom, which is consistent with the Darwinian concept of the "struggle for existence." Simpler and more informative non-entropy criteria for the evolution and involution of biosystems are proposed and the unity of energy conversion processes in technical and biological systems is proven.
