THE MIND/BODY SYSTEM BEGETS CONSCIOUSNESS: Nerve cells (neurons): nerve cells, also known as neurons, are the active component of the nervous system. Neurons communicate with each other as well as with other cells through electric signals...
Biological energy: All metabolic processes require energy, breaking down the raw material (inside the cell). This metabolic energy is then used for the synthesis (of cell proteins). Chemical reactions require a source of energy. Organisms use energy to...
Life is molecule-driven: Life is three-dimensional, and it begins with molecules. The DNA double helix embodies the central role that three-dimensional structures play in understanding biological processes. The biological matter comprises small molecules (e.g.,...
THE STELLAR BIRTH OF LIFE: A star’s higher calling is to produce life. A first-generation star starts with carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, potassium, and four trace elements. Then, gravity puts the pressure on. We are the chemical legacy of the stars. Our reason...
