BIOLOGY-MANAGEMENT OF AUTO IMMUNE DISEASES DO NOT VIEW - BEING WRITTEN The framework of life Life is maintained by a network of chemical reactions. These reactions have reactants and products. The reactants have higher chemical potential and drives the formation of the products. Enzymes are also a kind of driver of the reactions. Chemical potential is determined by chemical thermodynamics. Chemical reactions can be considered as a form of power relationship between chemical compounds. Reactants have the power to drive the reaction. The living organism is a network of these power relationships. The overall network is metabolism and it has both anabolic and catabolic pathways. The cells in addition communicate between these pathways by chemical signals. These signals modify the rate or choose alternate pathways to adapt to availability of nutrients or toxins. The metabolic pathways and chemical signals constitute a power framework. Organisms evolve by changing th...
