For example, we've publically put ideas that mitochondria and connected machinery essentially drive the quantum-mechanical transfer of information in cells that is used to control regional metabolism and direction of metabolic products, and is employed in the brain as its prime method of information transfer. That is of course, pure speculation, but it is informed by observation, and it is based on a common theme, that in the design of living systems, you start off on a smaller scale, the technologies demonstrated there, are re-utilised and re-engineered to do 'higher' tasks on larger scales.
This minimises the ammount of design needed from scratch, speeding up evolutionary development, and it also minimises the ammount of data that needs to be stored in a system (sort of like a JPEG). Since energy utilising systems, like chloroplasts, are right in the thick of it, and because they can demonstrate remarkable properties, yet remain very organised despite their huge complexity, it has become rather obvious to me that here is where your quantum mechanical designs will be found mosrt refined and integrated. What I mean by that is, that there is a 'whole machine' concept in which all parts of the energy transfer chain are linked by entanglement and electron tunnelling together to affect a sophisticated, integrated machine. This is already rather predictable, because of the way that only integrated quantum machinery could in the first place capture light photons which are not of energy gaps that match the electron holes in the photo-capture equipment - the energy has to be caught by a movement throughout the electron tyransfer chain that allows photon energy to be captured at the front end. In more vigourous machinery, like mitochondria, it is obvious that they must operate in synchronisation to prevent internal disaster in terms of cooperation of components and cell decision making - so an extended, communicational system that can switch regional, process-specific machinery would be hugely advantageous in any living system, and there is evidence that human immune cells display far too rapid coordination of cytoplasmic components when moving, to be controlled by simple flows of ions around a cell.
Well anyway, the following finding is proof that at the small scale, energy machinery is in fact integrated and that all components work in one, obviously entangled fashion;

We have obtained the first direct evidence that remarkably long-lived wavelike electronic quantum coherence plays an important part in energy transfer processes during photosynthesis,” said Graham Fleming, the principal investigator for the study. “This wavelike characteristic can explain the extreme efficiency of the energy transfer because it enables the system to simultaneously sample all the potential energy pathways and choose the most efficient one.”
Fleming is the Deputy Director of Berkeley Lab, a professor of chemistry at UC Berkeley, and an internationally acclaimed leader in spectroscopic studies of the photosynthetic process. In a paper entitled, Evidence for wavelike energy transfer through quantum coherence in photosynthetic systems, he and his collaborators report the detection of “quantum beating” signals, coherent electronic oscillations in both donor and acceptor molecules, generated by light-induced energy excitations, like the ripples formed when stones are tossed into a pond.
Electronic spectroscopy measurements made on a femtosecond (millionths of a billionth of a second) time-scale showed these oscillations meeting and interfering constructively, forming wavelike motions of energy (superposition states) that can explore all potential energy pathways simultaneously and reversibly, meaning they can retreat from wrong pathways with no penalty. This finding contradicts the classical description of the photosynthetic energy transfer process as one in which excitation energy hops from light-capturing pigment molecules to reaction center molecules step-by-step down the molecular energy ladder.
“The classical hopping description of the energy transfer process is both inadequate and inaccurate,” said Fleming. “It gives the wrong picture of how the process actually works, and misses a crucial aspect of the reason for the wonderful efficiency.”

EXACTLY what we've been saying.

Through photosynthesis, green plants and cyanobacteria are able to transfer sunlight energy to molecular reaction centers for conversion into chemical energy with nearly 100-percent efficiency. Speed is the key — the transfer of the solar energy takes place almost instantaneously so little energy is wasted as heat. How photosynthesis achieves this near instantaneous energy transfer is a long-standing mystery that may have finally been solved."
The origins of this integerated machinery are also those of the structure of prokaryotes themselves, as expected;
QUOTE
In plants the process of photosynthesis occurs in organelles called chloroplasts. Chloroplasts have many similarities with photosynthetic bacteria including a circular chromosome, prokaryotic-type ribosomes, and similar proteins in the photosynthetic reaction center.

Since we believe that chemosynthesis in hydro-geological systems predates photosynthesis, and thermo-synthesis (heat to chemical energy) predates photosynthesis, and all these systems predfate all eukaryotes, then we've all inherited advanced, integrated quantumly sophisticated energy management equipment as the core control systems of all bio-energy systems.
EXACTLY as predicted and stated! And even using the approaches and vibration/wave-llke processes described (which we've elaborated further with regards to the function of simultaneous depolarisation in neurons as a means to integrate enzyme and protein structures transfer of electron energy).
It is now finally proven that basic photosynthetic machinery works like this.
So, it is an absolute nonsense now to see biological phenomena as some inherently 'dead' series of clumsy, random molecular events blundering about inside a miraculously self organising structure, without this structure having a more sophisticated means to make decisions and respond to internal changes. Life utuilises a hugely evolved quantum mechanical organisation, integrated into its fundamental parts.
The people who argued with me on this, never retracted, never acknowledged the reasoning, and instead made rediculous slights on my logical procedures and senses. and maligned my intellect.
All such individuals, are morons. Nice to see the first definitive proof of our conjectures. Virtually everybody who has argued in favour of this kind of organisation was obviously right, but all had to endure some kind of emotive hostility. One sees that science is slow and dogmatic. So its never, ever more satisfying to see people proven wrong. A new paradign in biophysics is beckoning.
