Biological systems are the sites of complex and intriguing energy transfer and transformation processes.
The main problem to analyze the biological systems is that, these systems never exist in thermodynamic equilibrium. Biological systems are primarily made up of four components (Hydrogen, Carbon, Oxygen and Nitrogen). Composition of human body consists: hydrogen accounts for 64%, Oxygen accounts for 26%, Carbon accounts for 9%, Nitrogen 1%, and the remaining 1% of the atoms come from the 20 other essential elements for life. Human body is 72% water by mass.
