1.	Question : Comment on the statement 'living state is a non-equilibrium steady state to be able to perform work'.
Answer» Solution :Living organisms do not show equilibrium, because in STEADY state system can not work. Living organisms exists in a steady-state characterised by concentrations of each BIOMOLECULES. These biomolecules are in a metabolic flux. Any chemical or physical PROCESS moves SPONTANEOUSLY to equilibrium As living organisms work continuously, they can not afford to reach equilibrium. Hence, the living state is a non-equilibrium steady state to be able to perform work.
