Abstract
Any living organism is an information and energy system. Various definitions of the terms “energy” and “information” are given. The discussions that arise during their definition are considered. The reason for these discussions is explained. The biophysical interpretation underlying these terms is given. The purpose of this article is to explain the dynamics of changes in the connection between energy and information in living systems at a publicly understandable level based on a biophysical description.

期刊介绍:
Biophysics is a multidisciplinary international peer reviewed journal that covers a wide scope of problems related to the main physical mechanisms of processes taking place at different organization levels in biosystems. It includes structure and dynamics of macromolecules, cells and tissues; the influence of environment; energy transformation and transfer; thermodynamics; biological motility; population dynamics and cell differentiation modeling; biomechanics and tissue rheology; nonlinear phenomena, mathematical and cybernetics modeling of complex systems; and computational biology. The journal publishes short communications devoted and review articles.
