Quotes About Biology

Biological death is only a mechanical problem, it can be solved and man can live millions of years! Do not believe in life after death! Seek for the life within the life! The medusa of Turritopsis nutricula is biologically immortal and this little creature is a big inspiration for us! He who thinks positively reaches his target!

My best inorganic friend is science!

We were once fish! We spent millions of years under the water in silence! That's why now we love talking continuously!

Biology always beats will power.

complete change from larva to adult happens while it is a pupa. When a butterfly caterpillar sheds its last skin, its inner skin hardens into a chrysalis. A moth caterpillar doesn't make a chrysalis. It makes a cocoon. First, it hooks a silk strand to the top of twig. Next, it fastens that same thread to the bottom of the twig. Then it hangs head-down and spins threads across for the rest of the cocoon. Find a chrysalis or cocoon and watch the new butterfly or moth emerge! What It Looks Like

In our layered experience of the world, it's possible to believe we have left behind the blunt realities of being animal. Nothing could be further from the truth. Human life may be a blend of biology and dreams, but these dreams are still animal dreams.

The closest relatives of bed bugs (Cimex lectularius) are parasites of cave bats—which indicates that that was also bed bugs' original niche.

Perhaps periods of anxiety, sadness, panic, and sheer craziness are just part of the mental continuum that nature has provided to help us stay alive, make babies, and pass on genes.

The human sense of smell is extraordinary. Our eyes can distinguish several million colours, our ears can distinguish half a million tones, but our noses can distinguish well over a trillion different odours. Humans can detect virtually all volatile chemicals ever tested.

It was a shock to people of the nineteenth century when they discovered, from observations science had made, that many features of the biological world could be ascribed to the elegant principle of natural selection.

There is beauty in the world. There is no reason for it to be here. If it's all biology, all eating and getting eaten and the strongest devouring the weakest, then it's madness. Nothing more than madness. It's dying and drowning, and all love is illusion. But there is love, you see. Poor, weak, and broken love—a sign of something from a distant land.

Ve?a stopa rasta. Peteljke i listovi okre?u se malo-pomalo prema zvu?nicima, kao da žude za izvorom. - Sigurni ste da to nije samo vaš umišljaj? Biljke ne mogu uživati u klasi?noj glazbi. - Biljke svakako nemaju osobnost, no uvjeravam vas da reagiraju pozitivno. Sve je to uvjetovano biologijom, naravno. - Svakako. Zastao je, neko vrijeme razmišljao, a zatim rekao: - I mi smo uvjetovani biologijom.

The complexity of the simplest known type of cell is so great that it is impossible to accept that such an object could have been thrown together suddenly by some kind of freakish, vastly improbable, event. Such an occurrence would be indistinguishable from a miracle.

An honest man, armed with all the knowledge available to us now, could only state that in some sense, the origin of life appears at the moment to be almost a miracle, so many are the conditions which would have to be satisfied to get it going.

Each of us contains tens of billions of miles of DNA—enough for one hundred thousand round trips to the moon if you uncoiled each strand and placed them end to end

In the control group (the group of participants who did not change their lifestyles), their telomeres predictably shrank with age. But for the healthy-living group, not only did their telomeres shrink less, they grew. Five years later, their telomeres were even longer on average than when they started, suggesting a healthy lifestyle can boost telomerase enzyme activity and reverse cellular aging.71

The battle of the bulge is a battle against biology, so obesity is not some moral failing. I can't stress enough that becoming overweight is a normal, natural response to the abnormal, unnatural ubiquity of calorie-dense, sugary, and fatty foods.

Studies find that if you let kids run around for just six minutes, the levels of immune cells circulating in their blood increases by nearly 50 percent.

At rest, we burn about one calorie a minute, which is comparable to the heat produced by a seventy-five-watt light bulb.

In other words, it wasn't the weight loss and it wasn't the exercise that reversed cell aging—it was the food.

bodies contain salmon pollutants may take between fifty to seventy-five years to clear the chemicals from their bodies.

So for the first 90 percent of our hominoid existence, our bodies evolved on mostly plants.

In reality, human nature hardwires gender into our brains in three biological stages. The first stage has been clarified by genetics research, the second by endocrinological research, and the third by psychosocial research .7

human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine! That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers.
