In a living cell,equilibrium is never attained.Explain this phenomenon.?
Answer:
Equilibrium is never attained, because if equilibrium were attained all porocesses in your body would shut down.
Instead, a condition called steady state is attained, where molecules are created as fast as they are used, and their concentrations are constant over time.
If all equilibriums were established, there would be no driving force to keep the cell alive. The bias from equilibrium is what keeps thing living. It is needed as the driving force for all cellular chemistry. It sort of like stored potential energy.
is it a metaphor?
