i. p. 199. 244 SCIENCE AND PHILOSOPHY OF THE ORGANISM so-called active state (O^), have become antiquated owing to the discoveries of the last few years. It was the mistake of all former theories of oxidation to look upon respiration as a process in which the organism plays an almost passive role. Either some compounds of the organism were regarded as attracting the oxygen of the medium by their own affinity, or oxygen itself was regarded as attracting parts of the organism. Modern biology has ...shown that oxidation is an active function on the part of the organism for the benefit of the whole. Wherever it is necessary either to destroy noxious compounds or to gain energetical potentials, the organism forms catalysers or calls into activity so-called zymogens, which set up oxidation that would otherwise not have taken place.'^ The fuel consumed for the supply of energy consists generally of those constituents that are derived from the food — though hardly without some inter- mediate change first taking place — but it also may be more important constituents of the tissues themselves, as we have learnt in our analysis of the metabolism of fasting.
