Abstract

Temperature is ubiquitous in all aspects of energetics and nearly all biological responses are quantitatively affected by temperature. While its fundamental role in contributing to enthalpy and entropy forms the foundation of thermodynamics, pinpointing a specific mechanism for temperature sensing is another matter. This note discusses the possibility, based on some studies and trends.
