摘要
The study present relationship between the total metabolic energy (E-TME(c), J) derived as a function of body chemical energy (G(chem), J) and absolute temperature (T-b, K) in mammals: E-TME(c) = G(chem) (T-b/T-n). In formula the temperature T-n = 2.73K appears normalization temperature. The calculated total metabolic energy ETME(c) differs negligible from the total metabolic energy E-TME(J), received as a product between the basal metabolic rate (P-m, J/(s)) and the lifespan (T-ls, s) of mammals: E-TME = P(m)xT(ls). The physical nature and biological mean of the normalization temperature (T-n, K) is unclear. It is made the hypothesis that the kT(n) energy (where k=1.3806x10(-23) J/K -Boltzmann constant) presents energy of excitation states (modes) in biomolecules and body structures that could be in equilibrium with chemical energy accumulated in body. This means that the accumulated chemical energy allows trough all body molecules and structures to propagate excitations states with kT(n) energy with wavelength in the rage of width of biological membranes. The accumulated in biomolecules chemical energy maintains spread of the excited states through biomolecules without loss of energy.
