Sentence examples for components of organisms from inspiring English sources

Or, as Dr. Chan put it, to take some of the components of organisms — muscle cells, brain cells and others — "and combine them in different ways to create a different type of biological machine".

In short, artificial selection for specific features brings with it consequences both for other components of organisms and for the populations of which organisms are a part.

One consistent theme in the theoretical work of evolutionary psychologists is that "adaptations, the functional components of organisms, are identified by evidence of their design: the exquisite match between organism structure and environment" (Hagen 2005, 148).

The relevant notion of function is said to be the one that is used in biology and neurobiology in attributing functions to components of organisms (as in "the function of the pineal gland is secreting melatonin" and "the function of brain area MT is processing information about motion").

High-throughput sequencing technologies are now well established and help molecular biologists to unravel the molecular components of organisms.

Molecular chaperones are essential components of organisms that function as part of the normal physiology, and in response to stress, and pathology.

Proteins related to the cytoskeleton components of other organisms exist in archaea, and filaments form within their cells, but in contrast to other organisms, these cellular structures are poorly understood.

In addition, many cellular components of these organisms are associated with therapeutic properties like antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, immunostimulating, and antiviral.

Crystalline bacterial cell surface layers (S-layers) are one of the most common outermost cell envelope components of prokaryotic organisms (archaea and bacteria).

Intercellular gap junction (IGJ) channels are ubiquitous components of higher organisms that permit the direct exchange of ions and molecules up to a molecular mass of ∼1 kDa between neighboring cells and thus play fundamental functions in intercellular communication between the vast majority of cell types (for comprehensive reviews, see [1], [2]).

It compares genomic features – DNA sequences, genes, regulatory sequences, or other genomic structural components – of different organisms.
