PHYSICOCHEMICAL INTERACTION OF METABOLISM WITH ENVIRONMENT OF BIOLOGICAL STRUCTURES THROUGH ENERGY UPTAKE

It is shown in this brief manuscript that the author’s “basic hypothesis” of the origin of life, relying on Pattee’s and Primas’ works, and expounded in much more detail elsewhere, (1,2-6), whose central concept is a possible spontaneous symmetry breaking/restoring of time inversion, emerging from a spontaneous endophysical "(self-) measurement’’process, with the reverse time being internalized (to save retrocusality) and, as a consequence, driving to, evoluting to, towards attaining time inversion symmetry, might perhaps provide a key to certain well-known experimental biological facts. The author in this short manuscript aims to suggest a resolution of the physical basis of metabolism, interpreted as an original indispensible constant uptake, during the (originally cellular-) life cycle, of external energy.
