| Open structure molecules. |
||
| The function of the open structure molecules. |
||
| .1 | The “open structure molecules” are efficient tools to which nature has recourse, in order to restore, through dissipative reactions, orderly states of matter, featuring either low or very low degrees of entropy, also at biological temperatures. |
|
| In brief. |
||
| .2 | In this site, “open structure molecules” are meant those which, without changing their chemical composition, may change their configuration, their energy content, along with their physical behaviour. |
|
| .3 | The “open structure molecules” decrease their entropy (disorder), and get new useful features, thanks to dissipatives configurational reactions, triggered by a low entropy activation energy. |
|
| .4 | This form of energy is generated by discrete movements (i.e. at critical values of angular velocity), relatively to other matter. |
|
| Manifestation of this activation energy. |
||
| .5 | Examples of manifestations of this activation energy are found in water, and in EFAs (essential fatty acids) in seeds. |
|
| .6 | In water, the phenomenon considered is when it varies its density [chapter 1 (water figures); chapter 6 (ocean tides)]. |
|
| .7 | In seeds, the phenomenon considered is the increase of fluidity among adjacent EFAs molecules, when ensembles of them assume the same low energy level configuration [chapters 2 and 3]. |
|
| .8 | The last phenomenon considered - in this case as an hypothesis - is the quality of water, which would improve when ensembles of molecules assume the same configuration, that must be one of low level energy [insert Q]. |
