Some time ago I posted a comment about how photosyntesis shows quantum mechanics charateristics in the macroscale.
Well, there are apparently only 3 biological processes that show quantum mechanical behavior in the large scale. Photosynthesis as already mentioned is one of them, but also vision by absorbing discrete lumps of energy and converting them into an electrical current, and pulmonary activity which I don't completely understand why.
Who would have thought only 3 uh? In any case, nature is so cool that didn't forget to add "macroscopic" QM systems in our bodies!
On a different note, I am realizing how difficult it is to maintain an updated blog. I'll try to be better at it.
