produced by organisms converting light energy and carbon dioxide to O2 and water.
What is wanted is an appreciation of the infinite variety of vivid values achieved
by an organism in its proper environment.
The iron minerals have special qualities — They absorb harmful ultraviolet radiation, but the part of the sunlight needed for photosynthesis can still be
used by organisms.

fascinated by organisms that «can eat anything: plants, animals (alive or dead), even oil and rocks»?
He was the leader of a group that rejected standard genetics and held that the acquired characteristics of an organism could be
inherited by that organism's descendants.
Instead, most ear infections in dogs are
caused by organisms or bugs that are naturally present in the dog's ear all the time.
The military wants academic researchers to explore how to emulate the explosive biological forces
produced by organisms, such as frogs, when they jump.
A bacterial infection caused
by an organism called spirochete.Syphilis belongs to a group of infections which are transmitted sexually.
It turned out that just 1400 building blocks would suffice to synthesize 75 % of all natural product «chemical space,» which includes related compounds not
made by any organism.
There, Liu spotted what many other paleontologists before him had somehow missed: a series of sinuous traces thought to be left behind
by organisms of the Ediacaran biota, the planet's earliest known forms of animal life.
The team, headed by OIST's Prof. Alexander Mikheyev of the Ecology and Evolution Unit and Dr. Claire Morandin, post-doctoral scholar at the University of Helsinki, collected queens and workers and sequenced the transcriptome — the full range of messenger RNA molecules
expressed by an organism — of 16 species of ants to create a co-expression network of 36 sets of genes, that represent groups of similarly expressed genes.
This process produces organic acids: acetic acid, propionic acid, and butyric acid, all of which are absorbed and
metabolized by the organism as a source of energy.
The disease is exactly as the name suggest — worms in the heart — and is caused
by the organism Dirofilaria immitis, a parasitic nematode (roundworm).
The form of hydrogen atoms preserved in molecules left
behind by these organisms in the sediments tracks the rainfall intensity.
Organic vapours
released by organisms such as trees, marine bacteria and livestock appear to play a far more important role in cloud formation than suspected.
If the people, who are supposed to be vetting the science and determining if the science passes muster, are blinded
by their organism from the endorphins released when they hear the cause is man induced global warming, than peer review becomes nothing more than a 5th grade click of friends sitting around a lunch room table complaining about everyone who isn't as great as they are.
This small micro-inflammation then weakens the immune system of the ear canal, and that leads to ear infection
by organisms already present in the ear, as previously outlined.
A fuller understanding of what Whitehead means by «actual world» would help one to contextualize the matrix within which the formation of security
operations by an organism occur.
The order of the environment is
determined by the organisms it sustains, and the organisms could not remain in (that state of) existence without the order provided by that environment.
Infections caused
by the organism Staphylococcus aureus (Staph) rose by 2.4 %, and worryingly the increase is more prevalent in the resistant strain MRSA.
The team analysed the chemical composition of tiny shells
built by organisms (foraminifera) that had lived in the water column and at the sea bottom before their shells became embedded in the seafloor sediments.
Each one of these billions of plastic items can be
ingested by organisms and have negative effects on their health.»
To predict how biological communities respond to climate change, scientists typically test their theories
organism by organism, removing plants and animals from their ocean homes and examining how they react in heated tanks.
Modern researchers have discovered that a good memory is a prerequisite: It seems reciprocity is practiced
only by organisms that can keep track of those who are helpful and those who are not.
«Throughout our unique marine tests, the self - assembling micelles kept the coated surfaces intact and the coating displayed reasonable antifouling behavior by preventing
settling by organisms such as barnacles.»
Any methane produced
by organisms billions of years ago could be buried deep in the planet and periodically disturbed and vented to the surface through cracks, said mission scientist Sushil Atreya of the University of Michigan.
