In cases where the problems have been local our society has made laws to limit the harmful effects; just
as an organism evolves methods of protecting itself from the toxins it produces.
As organisms adapt to their environment, they lose traits that are no longer beneficial or keep them in much reduced form.
I learned to apply the same universal laws that govern nature to treat my
body as an organism and not as a machine.
As an evolutionary biologist he could see no basis for believing in the mysterious «emergence» of completely novel properties
as organisms became more complex.

earth as an organism, for it is presently endangered.
It turns out that as
long as the organism is very nearly transparent at the frequency of the trapping light, it can be cooled effectively by the surrounding water.
The scientist believe that these two embryonic muscle stem cell genes also tell the stem cells to become
quiet as the organism matures.
I was thinking about my body as a machine and
not as an organism — but so were the physicians I was seeing.
While these parasites are common in dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, rodents, and farm animals, even humans can get these unique
parasites as the organisms are host - specific.
If the dog is sick, do not feed it raw
chicken as its organism will use much energy to dissolve the chicken instead of battling the illness.
Life follows, after all, the prime directive... the basic principle... to become increasingly more
complex as an organism.
Recent, rapid climate change is driving evolution,
as organisms adapt to altered seasonal events rather than to the direct effects of increasing temperature.
The intracellular parasites that Keeling studies, which also have reduced genomes and are unable to produce their own source of energy or survive without their hosts, are typically thought
of as organisms.
Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) are
defined as organisms in which the genetic material (DNA) has been altered in a way that does not occur naturally.
For example, genetically engineered organisms used in the research laboratory to develop new chemical synthesis methods are not likely to require the same level of public dialogue as products that have more uncertainty associated with them, such
as organisms with gene drives, which enhance organisms» ability to pass certain genetic traits on to their offspring.
Whitehead's suggestion is that all entities whatsoever are understood
better as organisms interacting with their environments (composed of other organisms) than as self - enclosed entities passively shaped by external forces.
Other factors also contribute to smoothing the proxy temperature signals contained in many of the records we used,
such as organisms burrowing through deep - sea mud, and chronological uncertainties in the proxy records that tend to smooth the signals when compositing them into a globally averaged reconstruction.
Imagining the body
as an organism which expresses itself in the language of symptoms, her approach attempts to «translate» the messages the body sends and match these messages with both physical and spiritual treatments that speak directly to holistic root causes.
The topics covered across the three years are: Biology
Humans as organisms - health, diet, exercise, nervous system, disease and control Living processes - respiration, reproduction, transport in cells, Variation, evolution, inheritance & genetics - cloning, mutation and natural selection Ecosystems and habitats - food webs, interdependence and extinction
While chimeras in Greek literature are fictional and symbolic, the concept of chimeras in science, simply defined
as an organism made of cells from two organisms, are real, and they represent scientific progress and its potential to impact human health.
Endoparasites (in this case intestinal parasitic worms) are
described as organisms that live and reproduce in the gut where they feed and derive their nourishment.
The school of social functionalism examines the ways in which society,
considered as an organism, attempts to contain and manage conflict, integrating disparate members and subgroups into the whole.
His presidential address to the American Society of Naturalists, published in 1953 under the title «Gene and Organism» (AN87), is a closely argued case for regarding the
gene as an organism and therefore a subject.
«This important expedition focuses on polar latitudes, where the acidification effects can cascade from microscopic organisms up to our economy,
as the organisms at risk form the base of the food chain for some of the world's most productive fisheries.»
This report builds on JCVI's 2014 report, funded by the Department of Energy, on the adequacy of the U.S. biotechnology regulatory
system as organisms engineered using synthetic biology enter the marketplace.
Whatever springs readily to mind, it probably won't be nearly as
old as the organisms Rachel Sussman photographs.
Coral can no longer be
viewed as organisms that only adapt slowly over evolutionary millennia via genetic mutation and natural selection.
In Tough Things First, Zinn maps
corporations as an organism and explains the interaction of the mind, heart, eyes and the entire body.
Without the soul the body has no power to
cohere as an organism or even a meaningful entity within creation.
In explicating his own notion of «dynamism» Sullivan notes that, «Whitehead, among the philosophers, has conceived the
universe as an organism, and certainly there is no difficulty in seeing living organisms as particular dynamisms.»
Consider, as an example, that Darwinism predicts ultimately selfish
behavior as organisms strive to continue their own genetic line.
Whitehead also refers to cells, molecules, atoms, and electrons and
protons as organisms with significant unity, to be contrasted with those things which are mere aggregates (SMW 161 f.).
