  2. Negative energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_energy

    The negative-energy particle then crosses the event horizon into the black hole, with the law of conservation of energy requiring that an equal amount of positive energy should escape. In the Penrose process , a body divides in two, with one half gaining negative energy and falling in, while the other half gains an equal amount of positive ...

  3. Energy homeostasis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_homeostasis

    A negative balance or caloric deficit is a result of energy intake being less than what is consumed in external work and other bodily means of energy expenditure. The main cause is undereating due to a medical condition such as decreased appetite , anorexia nervosa , digestive disease , or due to some circumstance such as fasting or lack of ...

  4. Entropy and life - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy_and_life

    Research concerning the relationship between the thermodynamic quantity entropy and both the origin and evolution of life began around the turn of the 20th century. In 1910 American historian Henry Adams printed and distributed to university libraries and history professors the small volume A Letter to American Teachers of History proposing a theory of history based on the second law of ...

  5. Bioenergetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioenergetics

    Bioenergetics is a field in biochemistry and cell biology that concerns energy flow through living systems. [1] This is an active area of biological research that includes the study of the transformation of energy in living organisms and the study of thousands of different cellular processes such as cellular respiration and the many other metabolic and enzymatic processes that lead to ...

  6. Balance of nature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balance_of_nature

    The balance of nature, also known as ecological balance, is a theory that proposes that ecological systems are usually in a stable equilibrium or homeostasis, which is to say that a small change (the size of a particular population, for example) will be corrected by some negative feedback that will bring the parameter back to its original "point of balance" with the rest of the system.

  8. Allostasis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allostasis

    The brain is able to overcome negative feedback in these localized systems and continuously evaluate the body's internal set-points. By doing so, the body can regulate its resources and energy storage efficiently. Another key component of allostasis is the brain's perception and subsequent adaptation to chronic stress.

  9. Glossary of physics - Wikipedia

    The energy that a physical body possesses due to its motion, defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity. The body continues to maintain this kinetic energy unless its velocity changes. Contrast potential energy. Kirchhoff's circuit laws. Also called Kirchhoff's rules or simply Kirchhoff's laws.
