Stably nonequilibrium state of the water-carbonate matrix of living systems - fundamental principle of their own activity
From the moment of occurrence of biology as an independent science discussion proceeds about whether the living systems possesses their own activity or their ability to live is caused by action on them of external forces finally. For realization of the principle of its own activities of living systems it is necessary, that the potential of a living system (energy density, which it can use) exceeded the potential of objects over which it exercises work. Otherwise it turns into an object that environmental factors manipulate. The present work is devoted to finding-out the nature of the processes providing a living system in so high potential that it could realize the principle of its own activity. We have found out that aqueous solutions of bicarbonate possess ability to transform energy of low density (heat) into energy high-density (photons), even in conditions in which they cannot exchange substance with the environment and in complete darkness. Since practically all biological liquids and natural waters represent aqueous solutions of carbonates (bicarbonates), we state a hypothesis according to which processes providing own activity of living systems are caused by the special energetic properties of water-carbonate matrix
