Abstract

Stable nonequilibrium (excited) state of living matter is supported by an energy flux which is gained mostly from one-electron oxygen reduction (genuine burning). Water hydrating biopolymers and supramolecular complexes (interfacial water) account for a significant part of living matter by weight. This polarized water may cause transformation of low-density energy (e.g., heat) into electronic excitation energy and may be directly oxidized by oxygen. Both oxidation of water and oxidation in water exhibit self-organization features and may underlie the intrinsic activity of living matter, which is responsible for its self-preservation, development, and growth.
