Organism Quotations

Because all of biology is connected, one can often make a breakthrough with an organism that exaggerates a particular phenomenon, and later explore the generality.

Genetically modified organism (GMO) foods are feared and hated by environmentalists and the public alike. Yet the scientific assessment of GMOs is remarkably different. Every major scientific evaluation of GMO technology has concluded that GMOs are safe for human consumption and are a benefit to the environment.

There are several ways we can know what a dog, a bird or, indeed, any other organism can see, for example either by looking at the structure of the eye and comparing it with other species, or by behavioural tests.

Unless one believes in a superhuman reason which directs evolution, one is bound to believe in a reason inherent in humanity, a motive power transcending that of each separate people, just as the power of the organism transcends that of the organ. This reason increases in proportion as the unity of mankind becomes established.

Sometime in the future, I am a hundred percent certain scientists will sit down at a computer terminal, design what they want the organism to do, and build it.

You see, every creature alive on the earth today represents an unbroken line of life that stretches back to the first primitive organism to appear on this planet; and that is about three billion years.

One of the biggest mistakes people make is to think that what you need to write a novel is imagination, creativity and a facility with words. Yes, you need all those things, but a novel is a highly complex organism that needs to be dealt with in quite a logical manner.

The life force knows exactly what it takes to keep any particular living organism - any organism - alive. Anything in manifestation, for that matter. Even a rock is a manifestation of some sort, and you know, in physics and quantum physics, they know a rock is not dead.

With the passing of the Age of Materialism, the West knows once more that the development of an organism is the unfolding of a soul.

There is a problem as many parts of the world don't like the fact that one country is linked to the organism that technically rules the internet, ... Many countries would like a multilateral approach.

If we have a protein sequence from bone, we can tell if the material is an original part of the organism that will provide interesting information about its past. We can know where it came from. Our goal is to use a variety of technologies new to paleontology to develop a deeper understanding of prehistoric life - and everyone dreams of embellishing our understanding of dinosaurs.

If the food deficit continues, it is going to change the configuration of the deep-sea communities of organisms. No organism can survive long periods of time without food. There's going to have to be some adjustments. In the long term, either the animal will have to adapt to the shortage or a more opportunistic species will take over.

We picked the simplest organism about which we know the most,

When a child is born, it is immersed in an atmosphere charged with the stellar vibrations peculiar to that moment, which are stamped upon each atom of the sensitive organism by the air inhaled with the first breath.

With a new type of nozzle for applying the ozone under water, we can have a very efficient destruction of the cell and toxin without releasing the ozone into the atmosphere. So it looks very promising. It is going to affect any marine organism in the area, but with red tide there won't be much alive there.

When you introduce a genetically modified organism into the environment, it's not like introducing a chemical product, or even a nuclear product.

The organism is only DNA's way of making more DNA.

What this isolation of the organism will show us is where were they at a given time and what time was it that it occurred.

Coming into a new area, this organism doesn't have any real enemies; the defenses of the local population are not up,

Precise knowledge of what happens to the food entering the organism must be the subject of ideal physiology, the physiology of the future.

A true "personality" . . . is like a robust organism that, with unconscious sureness, seeks out and digests the nourishment appropriate to it and vigorously rejects that which is unsuitable.

You realize that however much you don't think about death - or think that's for other people - you're just an organism living from day to day. I'm just grateful I'm here.

This may well be another consequence of our use of antibiotics. It's another example of an organism that all of a sudden has gotten a lot meaner and nastier.

It's a transition period now. We're a constantly changing organism that is attempting to be a blessing to the community. The church is not pushing businesses out.

It's a wicked bug, ... It's an environmental organism that's wherever the soldiers are -- in the water, in the trenches. It's able to survive literally anywhere -- in food, on human skin, and in the bowels and intestines of humans. And it has become highly antibiotic-resistant, with all sorts of enzymes that incapacitate antibiotics and a pumping mechanism that literally pumps out the medicine.

Data from several cultivation-independent, molecular experiments led us to suspect that Archaea could be involved in the marine nitrogen cycle. Subsequently having the organism isolated in the lab allowed us to confirm our suspicions,

Then you can really do genetic engineering, ... I mean where you can actually design an organism or change it in massive ways.

The newly released movie 'Noah' features a retelling of the creation story that clearly depicts Darwinian evolution transforming a single-cell organism into a monkey. The movie also seems to show magic in scenes more reminiscent of the occult than of the Bible story.

The capacity of the human organism to bear pain is, for our own protection, limited. All attempts to overstep this natural threshold by resolving repression in a violent manner will, as with every other form of violation, have negative and often dangerous consequences.

The cells of an organism are nodes in a richly interwoven communications network, transmitting and receiving, coding and decoding. Evolution itself embodies an ongoing exchange of information between organism and environment.

In a purely technical sense, each species of higher organism is richer in information than a Caravaggio painting, Bach fugue, or any other great work of art.

And so the organism can become established, can compete with the local population, can cause the collapse of the food chain.

The first generation of biotech physically cut and pasted from one organism to another. You learned that taxol helped cure cancer, then you found the source organism and extracted the genes to make your drug. Now physical science is becoming information science.

The disease organism alone could be a problem for native species, even for humans.

Great is this organism of mud and fire, terrible this vast, painful, glorious experiment
