The truth is, natural organisms have managed to do everything we want to do without guzzling fossil fuels, polluting the planet or mortgaging the future. Janine Benyus

It's fair to say when you go out and walk in the woods or on a beach, the most conspicuous forms of life you will see are plants and animals, and certainly there's a huge diversity of those types of organisms, perhaps 10 million animal species and several hundred thousand plant species. Andrew H. Knoll

Life You Animal Walk Plant Plants Will Diversity Animals Types Hundred Say Several Those Out Conspicuous Thousand See Beach Fair Perhaps Most Go Huge Woods Forms Organisms Certainly Plants And Animals Species Million

Neighborhoods and communities are complex organisms that will be resilient only if they are healthy along a number of interrelated dimensions, much as a human body cannot be healthy without adequate air, water, rest, and food. Ben Bernanke

Food Water Will Rest Healthy Air Adequate Complex Dimensions Neighborhoods Only Along Without Human Human Body Cannot Much Body Organisms Communities Resilient Interrelated Number

The haunting of history is ever present in Barcelona. I see cities as organisms, as living creatures. To me, Madrid is a man and Barcelona is a woman. And it's a woman who's extremely vain. Carlos Ruiz Zafon

We found evolution will punish you if you're selfish and mean. For a short time and against a specific set of opponents, some selfish organisms may come out ahead. But selfishness isn't evolutionarily sustainable. Chris Adami

What I was concerned with was life: what are the major features that are common to all living organisms that subtly define life. So I looked at the whole problem as a chemist, as a biochemist, and as a molecular biologist. Christian de Duve

Organisms in the ocean provide over 40 percent of the oxygen we breathe, and they're the major sink for capturing all the carbon dioxide we constantly release into the atmosphere. Craig Venter

Ocean Release Constantly Atmosphere Percent Over Major Provide Sink Oxygen Breathe Organisms Capturing Carbon Carbon Dioxide

Perhaps genes did regulate the aging process. Perhaps different organisms had different life spans because a universal regulatory 'clock' was set to run at different speeds in different species. Cynthia Kenyon

In environments that are energy-rich but liquid-poor, like near the surface of Titan, natural selection may favor organisms that use their metabolic heat to melt their own watering holes. David Grinspoon

Natural Own Watering Favor Melt Selection Environments Like Surface Heat May Holes Natural Selection Organisms Use Near

I've always been more interested in organisms that can move on their own than in stationary plants. But when I canoe or hike along the edge of lakes or oceans and see trees that seem to be growing out of rock faces, I am blown away. How do they do it? David Suzuki

Plants Edge Own Move On Trees Stationary Out See Seem Faces More Along Hike Rock Always How Am Oceans Been Than Blown Blown Away Move Canoe Lakes Interested Organisms Growing Away

When you get into the whole field of exploring, probably 90 percent of the kinds of organisms, plants, animals and especially microorganisms and tiny invertebrate animals are unknown. Then you realize that we live on a relatively unexplored plan. E. O. Wilson

You Plants Animals Field Live Unknown Relatively Kinds Percent Get Unexplored Tiny Plan Realize Then Organisms Exploring Whole

Each organism, no matter how simple or complex, has around it a sacred bubble of space, a bit of mobile territoriality which only a few other organisms are allowed to penetrate and then only for short periods of time. Edward Hall

Time Simple Matter Space Few Other Bit Complex Penetrate Only Sacred Bubble Allowed Periods Around How Mobile Short Short Periods Which Then Organism Organisms Each

You are literally never alone. While there are roughly 6.7 billion people on Earth, you may not feel that many of them at all care very much about your existence. But within your colon alone are living at least 1012 billion organisms, or roughly a thousand times the number of people on the planet. Stop your metabolic processes, and you stop theirs. Eliot Schrefer

Alone You People Care Living Earth Thousand Thousand Times About Colon Never Feel Within Least Existence Very Times May Stop Literally Processes While Them Much Planet Organisms Your Billion Many Roughly Number

One of the deepest functions of a living organisms is to look ahead... to produce future. Francois Jacob

Future Living Look Produce Organisms Functions Deepest Living Organisms

Just like mutations to DNA in biological organisms allow for evolution through natural selection, forking lets us run multiple experiments in parallel where the strongest versions survive. Fred Ehrsam

The best engineered organisms can outpace others, even if they start smaller or later. Fred Ehrsam

Best Others Later Smaller Organisms Engineered Even Start

Digital organisms, while not necessarily any more alive than a phone book, are strings of code that replicate and evolve over time. Digital codes are strings of binary digits - bits. George Dyson

Time Book Phone Binary Digital Strings Alive Bits Evolve More Over Than Replicate Any While Organisms Code Codes Necessarily

Splitting and gradual divergence of genera is exemplified very well and in a large variety of organisms. George Gaylord Simpson

Divergence Genera Variety Splitting Well Very Gradual Organisms Large

Time and time again, truly basic studies of simple experimental organisms have proved directly relevant to human biology and human disease. An investment in such basic studies is an effective investment indeed. H. Robert Horvitz

Time Simple Biology Indeed Relevant Directly Studies Investment Proved Time And Time Truly Effective Disease Human Experimental Again Organisms Basic

The existence of common features in different forms of life indicates some relationship between the different organisms, and according to the concept of evolution, these relations stem from the circumstance that the higher organisms, in the course of millions of years, have gradually evolved from simpler ones. Hans Adolf Krebs

Life Relationship Relations Circumstance Evolution Evolved Some Features Higher Simpler Stem Between Concept Course Years Existence According Gradually Common Different Forms Organisms Millions Millions Of Years

There are more living organisms in a tablespoon of highly organic soil than there are people on the planet. Howard Warren Buffett
