Living organism are not in equilibrium because system at equilibrium cannot perform work. The living organisms exist in a steady state characterised by concentration of each of the biomolecules. These biomolecules are in a metabolic flux. Any chemical or physical process movessimultaneously to equilibrium. As living organisms work continuously, they cannot afford toreach equilibrium.
