Abstract
The phenomesnon “life” becomes manifest in organisms. Within organisms all those reactions are found which characterize life. Today, many single reactions can be realized experimentally outside the organisms. Usually, they are catalyzed and controlled by enzymes (see Chap. 9). Supramolecular functional units are the organelles. In some organelles many metabolic steps are localized and run coordinately. Correspondingly, those organelles have a very complex structure. However, even in these cases they have only certain partial functions within the organism.
