Biology
|
Understanding how living systems stored information to reproduce molecules and structures that use chemistry to "cheat" the laws of physics. Living systems have ability to trap, store, and utilize energy to rearrange the elements of its surroundins to produce an ordered structure capable of self maintenance and continued reproduction.
