Question

What is equilibrium

Answer 1

In chemical reactions, a reaction is at equilibrium when the forward reaction is occurring at the same rate as the reverse reaction. Chemical equilibrium is often described as a dynamic, steady state.

In biology, equilibrium is used in different contexts, but the concept of equilibrium is the same. It can refer to organisms maintaining homeostasis, transporting materials across the cell membrane, genetic equilibrium, and chemical equilibrium as discussed above.
