title: [Nonequilibrium distribution as a feature of biological systems].
abstract: It is suggested that the amount of energy extracted by a dissipative biological system from macroergic compounds depends on the energetic state of the system. The non-linear character of this relationship with the maximum in intermediate phases and presence of the upper limit of energetic states in the system with an energy increase cause a decrease of population of intermediate levels and an increase of the upper and lower levels. The antientropic distribution is presented as a principal thermodynamic peculiarity of biological systems.
