Firstly, they sit at the bottom of the food chain, so there are a lot of opportunistic organisms out there, including insect herbivores and microbial pathogens who want to tap into that biochemical energy that is stored in plants.

首先，它们处于物链底层，所以有很多投机取巧的微生物存在，包性昆虫和微生物病原体，它们想要利用储存在植物中的生化能量。

Well, electronic circuits function about a million times faster than biochemical ones, so this machine should think about a million times faster than the minds that built it.

It's still not clear whether those biochemical changes translate to any better outcome for patients.

目前尚不楚这些生理的变化是否对病人有益。

The researchers are now investigating whether the same biochemical events happen in humans.

研究人员正在研究相同的生物化学反应是否会在人类身发生。

But physiologically, metabolism really describes every single biochemical reaction that goes on in your body.

但是生理学，新陈代谢确实描述了你体内发生的每一个生化反应。

Regardless of the biochemical details, the most intriguing thing Dr Baker's result provides is a new way of thinking about how to slow the process of ageing-and one that works with the grain of nature, rather than against it.

先不论生化细节，贝克教授结果最吸引人的东西是它提供一种思考如何延缓衰老的新方法，并且这种新的方法与自然套路共同发挥作用，而不是与其背道而驰。

So I don't actually think we can group things into either biochemical or biophysical, because in biology, we learn form equals function, so the physical structure will affect the biochemical functioning of a lot of these molecules.

所以我实为我们不能将事物归入生物化学或生物物理学，因为在生物学中，我们知道形式等于功能，因此物理结构将影响许多这些分子的生化功能。

Ms Aviv's withering assessment of the over-prescribing " biochemical" model of health care is powerful, as is her horror at the treatment Ms Gaines received at the hands of doctors and prison guards.

艾薇芙对过度开药的“生化”医疗保健模式的尖锐评价很有力，她对盖恩斯在医生和狱警手里接受的治疗表现出的恐惧也是如此。

These are fats that have double bonds AND stack well...in fact, they stack even better than saturated fats AND our biochemical systems aren't designed to break them down AND they interact badly with cholesterol.

这些脂肪均有双链且易于堆积......事实，它们比饱和脂肪更容易堆积。而我们的生物化学系统并不是专门为分解它们而设计的，而且它们与胆固醇不能相互作用。

What we do know is that Chlorophyll, as wasteful as its failure to absorb green light may be, turned out to have other biochemical advantages over the purple competition.

据我们所知，叶绿素不吸收绿光是浪费的，也可能是相比于紫色竞争者，它有独特的生化竞争优势。

Interesting. And would you agree that the primary way we would evaluate either the success or failure of the date would be based on the biochemical reaction during the good night kiss?

有意思。你是否同意我们评价约会成败的依据，是基于离别之吻时的化学反应？

With most cases, the macrophage then fuses the phagosome with a lysosome which has hydrolytic enzymes that can pretty much break down any biochemical molecules.

大部分情况下，巨噬细胞会将吞噬小体和溶酶体融合到一起；溶酶体中含有水解酶可以很大程度分解生物化学分子。

That biochemical trick can cause new phages to be packaged not with viral DNA at all, but with long chunks of bacterial genome.

这种生化技巧可以导致新的噬菌体完全不是用病毒DNA包装的，而是用长段细菌基因组包装的。

The molecules are 1.6 billion years old and hint that eukaryotes were abundant and widespread much longer ago than earlier biochemical evidence had suggested.

这些分子有16亿年的历史，暗示着早在之前的生物化学证据所显示的时间之前，真核生物就已经广泛存在和繁殖了。

Al Edwards, an immunologist turned biochemical engineer at the University of Reading (who was not involved with either paper), is cautiously optimistic.

从免疫学家转行为雷丁大学生化工程师的Al Edwards（他没有参与这两篇论文的撰写）对此持谨慎乐观态度。

They can also do biochemical things and physiological things to make it less likely that they will turn into an ice cube.

它们还能做有生物化学性质和生理学性质的事情，尽可能避免冻成冰块。

He and his team found that calorie " restriction caused real biochemical changes that slowed down the rate of aging."

普赖斯和团队发现，“限制卡路里摄入真的会出现延缓衰老速度的生理变化。”

Such a staggering figure gives some idea of the swarming immensity of biochemical activity within us.

这是一个惊人的数字，我们从中可以了解一点我们体内生物化学活动的剧烈程度。”
