The layer and the essence of life: from microcosmic to macrocosmic view point Wuya Chen (Cell Biology 2012022038 ） Biological phenomenon can not simply be considered as the one that base on the physical rules, since life is formatted by no more than atom and molecular. Here, we review the research of biology, thermodynamics, informatics, and psychology, in order to learn about the layer and the essence of life . When studying, we took into account biological phenomenon relative with entropy, energy, information, self-organization, and consciousness, and make a conclusion that the essence of life is one kind of dissipative structure with self- organization. Keyword: life, entropy, energy, information, self-organization, consciousness 1. Introductions Since the second half of last century, many of the physicists altered their attention to the biology phenomenon, and noticed that many of those phenomenon can not be explained just by the rule of physic and sometimes broken it or got the oppose side of it, although life is formatted by no more than atom and molecular. Like the next two examples below. Nucleic acids are used to store and transmit genetic information in cells and come in two varieties: the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and the ribonucleic acid (RNA). RNA differs from DNA by having one additional oxygen atom on each sugar and one missing carbon atom on each thymine base. DNA and RNA perform distinct functions in the cell. DNA is more stable and hence better suited for information storage. RNA is less stable and hence more useful in information transfer as a messenger, a translator and a synthetic machine (Saenger, 1984). In DNA there
