The evolution of chemiosmotic energy coupling
Journal of Theoretical Biology, 1976Abstract An evolutionary scheme for the origin of chemiosmotic coupling of redox reactions and ATP synthesis is proposed. It is argued that the primitive heterotroph, which generated ATP by substrate level phosphorylation, used some of this ATP in active proton extrusion to regulate cytoplasmic pH.

The energy expansions of evolution
Nature Ecology & Evolution, 2017The history of the life-Earth system can be divided into five 'energetic' epochs, each featuring the evolution of life forms that can exploit a new source of energy. These sources are: geochemical energy, sunlight, oxygen, flesh and fire. The first two were present at the start, but oxygen, flesh and fire are all consequences of evolutionary events ...

Intuition teaches us that living things are very different from inorganic matter. In contrast to the teachings of physics that in closed physical systems, containing only inorganic matter, entropy increases steadily, approaching finally a “heat death”, in nature we observe that living things behave very differently from non-living systems.

Energy problems in life evolution
Biochemistry (Moscow), 2005Evolutionary aspects of bioenergetics are considered. These include the origin of the first organisms, UV-protection and the beginnings of anoxygenic photosynthesis, the electron donor problem of life and the appearance of oxygenic photosynthesis, oxygen danger and strategies of defense, and the role of oxygen in programmed cell death.

The Evolution of Energy Sources
2011Methane hydrates may become an important source of natural gas in the near future. The first chapter offers a panoramic view of current energy sources, quantifying their importance, and foreseeable developments. The energy sources discussed include traditional fossil fuels (oil, gas, and coal), nuclear, renewables, and potential non-conventional ...

There are not a significant number of theories in energy law but a central one concerns its evolution. A framework is important as it will in essence provide energy law with a ‘spirit’ or a raison d’etre. This theory concerns the Evolution of Energy Law and the centre-point of this theoretical perspective is that to-date there have been Five Stages in ...

The evolution of energy law and energy jurisprudence: Insights for energy analysts and researchers
Energy Research & Social Science, 2016Abstract Energy law is gaining prominence among legal subjects. In the three spheres of academic, professional and public life, there is an increasing realization of the potential importance of energy law. The underlying objective of this paper is to contribute to the creation of a theory of energy law through advancing what this should encompass ...

Energy utilization and evolution
Journal of Social and Biological Systems, 1981Abstract The use of energy by technically advanced societies appears to be part of man's social evolution and an extension of his biological evolution from more primitive life forms. Increasing independence has been the response to evolving selection pressures. Concomitantly species have become less fecund but longer lived. Man's social evolution has
