Abstract:
Metabolism, as the most important physiological process or transport phenomenom in its reality. During dissimilation the living systems liberate energy, which is then used for the maintenance of different functions; assimilation, contraction, maintenance of the electric potential. The simple transportation phenomena were discussed from different points of view according to the classical physics and this hindered somewhat formation of a unified viewpoint. Let us consider the transport phenomena and let us try to define them, scientifically well grounded and embraces all those phenomena, which has been discussed in this group in biophysics. This general definition of the transport processes makes possible quantitative characterization of the effected changes, which had been an impossible requirement before. However, in biological systems there are essential differences between the course of the simplest transport processes and those of the theoretical models described by physic-chemical equations. Many physiological phenomena are based on these inverse effect-pairs
