Chronobiology And Energy Capacity Of Functioning Bioobjects
The algorithm of living system functioning normally comprises such successive stages as structure renovation involving matter and energy consumption and energy generation and consumption according to controlling information; energy exchange control based on converting signal information into control commands and time concordance of the structural, energy and information levels of functioning. At the same time, the development of a pathology consecutively passes through the following stages:
- time mismatching of different levels of biosystem functioning;
- information flow disturbance in the body;
- energy;
- exchange disturbance;
- metabolism disturbance and structure disintegration.
Hence, any kind of biosystem malfunctioning starts off with time mismatching of different processes which causes distortion of information commands which control these processes.
Biological rhythms are understood to be non-linear, periodically recurrent variations in the intensity and character of biological processes and phenomena. The terms ?resonance? and ?synchronization? used in the science of rhythm have a different sense. With reference to a bioobject ?resonance? is pertinent to structure while ?synchronization? has reference to the bioobject?s function.
The main peculiarity of living systems is excess energy generation in metabolism and accumulation of the surplus. Primary energy generation is related to P. Mitchell electrochemical cycles (1961). The energy capacity of metabolism is unique. With all kinds of living matter it is actualized on the basis of earlier reserved electric energy with adenosine triphosphate (ATP) involved.
All forms of life depend on an amount of information determining the common basis of metabolism energy capacity for all of them. The information defining the role of ATP in these processes is practically indispensable for higher forms of life. This confirms that the process of information transfer is energetic, spatial and temporal and that chronobiological and energetic aspects of bioobject functioning are inseparably linked.
