It marked the moment when the atmosphere finally built up enough oxygen to sustain organisms like us; when the slow waltz of geology gave way to the racing pulse of biology — burrowing, breeding, evolving, dying.
The Habitable Exoplanets Catalogue in essence ranks the habitability of planets and moons according to three criteria: their surface temperature, similarity to Earth, and capacity to sustain organisms at the bottom of the food chain.
The energetic yield is in fact sufficient to sustain organisms that employ exclusively amino acids as energy sources.
By the different permutations of co-regulators, even a small number of DBTFs binding to a limited number of cis regulatory elements can form a system, which can execute the innumerable gene expression profiles that are necessary for sustaining eukaryotic organisms.
These processes are sustained by organisms with specific life history traits, and the variety of organisms is called biodiversity.
Equally unfeasible is the idea that a cold star, with a surface temperature similar to that of Earth, could sustain photosynthetic organisms.
It's best to read a few columns at a sitting, savoring each as its own self-sustaining organism.
Samantha enjoyed reading about botany and had long assumed that, like some plants, she was asexual, a self-sustaining organism.
Lastly, no scientist is a self-sustaining organism.
It is interesting to investigate the thermodynamic processes that are involved in the processes of life sustaining of living organisms.
Intended to sustain an organism through early life, the yolk makes for a decadent snack.
