**课程名称：生命的物理：热力学** **课程概述：** 生命存在于物理和化学定律的约束之下，但又与物理世界截然不同。本课程将深入探讨生命的独特性，核心在于生物适应性这一基本现象。 本课程是“生命的物理”系列四门课程中的第一门，将重点关注热力学在理解生命中的作用。课程将探讨以下问题： * 生命的**热力学定义**是什么？ * **新陈代谢**是如何运作的？ * 生命的**起源**在热力学上是如何解释的？ * **生态学和群落结构**在热力学上有什么样的视角？ 这并非传统的物理学课程。本课程**数学要求不高**，旨在说明生物学如何利用物理学来服务于适应性。 **受众背景建议：** * 高中物理和化学基础 * 大学入门级生物学知识
Life exists in a world constrained by laws of physics and chemistry. Life is still distinct from the physical world, and this course explores why. The answer lies in the fundamentally biological phenomenon of adaptation. Physics of life thermodynamics is the first of a series of four courses that deal with this question. Physics of light thermodynamics considers such questions as the thermodynamic definition of life, how metabolism works, the thermodynamics of the origin of life, and the thermodynamics of ecology and community structure. This is not your standard approach to physics.The course is not heavily mathematical, and is geared towards how biology exploits physics in the service of adaptation. I assume that you have a basic background in high school physics and chemistry, as well as introductory level college biology.
