as there is no single component, or single reaction, that alone is responsible for life.

Homeostasis is a self-regulating process by which biological systems tend to maintain stability while adjusting to conditions that are optimal for survival;

the growth of the membrane occurs only if the template is replicated, and the membranogenic T is formed from T1 only in the presence of R, which is a by-product of replication. In other words, there is a coupling between replication and membranogenesis.

The Fischer-Tropsch reaction This reaction converts carbon monoxide and hydrogen into liquid hydrocarbons:

This process poses interesting questions from the thermodynamic point of view on why and how a water-soluble protein should prefer to migrate into the micellar phase.

There are many processes in nature that permit an increase of complexity and are attended by a negative free energy change

the main feature of autopoiesis is self-maintenance due to a process of self-generation from within.

the different cells interact with each other

consider the case of meta-cellular organisms as second-order autopoietic systems.
