In a living cell,equilibrium is never attained.Explain this phenomenon?



Answer:
If there is equilibrium, you cannot change anything, there is no driving force for any reaction at all. You need to have inequilibrium to have a source of energy to tap from, and you need to maintain that inequilibrium.

Also note that the compounds that make up a cell are not stable towards splitting into water and carbon dioxide. That is why living thing can burn. If they were in a stable equilibrium, they would not burn.
