Some components attach to the outer surface, others attach to the inner surface, while others permeate the membrane to form pores or channels. Together, they facilitate a chemical conversation within and between cells through the selective docking and undocking of molecules governed by their unique 3D shape.

The building and breakdown of some molecules happen within the confines of these membrane-bound “devices” while others happen out in the open water of the cell’s internal salty ocean. The organelles themselves are built modularly from these same molecules. She’s a clever one, that Mother Nature!

They have special cells that generate on-demand electric current by controlling the movement of simple mineral ions (e.g., sodium, potassium, and chloride) from one side of the membrane to the other.

Only then did she give rise to the evolution of simple, multi-cellular organisms and—relatively recently—the explosion of the complex biological diversity we know today. https://synapse.bio/blog/shining-light-on-the-impossible monthly 0.5 2024-03-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d81f72b7411cdef9af3e92/1587560783261-D5TL2ZHRTYQB3V32C6KN/rainforest.jpg Blog - Shining light on the impossible Source: Brenkee, Public domain, via Pixabay https://synapse.bio/blog/biology-inspires-a-plastics-revolution monthly 0.5 2024-06-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d81f72b7411cdef9af3e92/1587246559110-C9AGDDMTKLXEQX80CPO7/slug_banana_216178+copy.jpg Blog - Biology Inspires a Plastics (R)Evolution Banana slug https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d81f72b7411cdef9af3e92/1587246648276-OHFX88DBV7H6A337GHQI/elephant_skin_macro_233932501+copy.jpg Blog - Biology Inspires a Plastics (R)Evolution Elephant skin https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d81f72b7411cdef9af3e92/1587246737190-DL2JWAND9WDS5858RSAJ/leaves_photosynthesis_ginko_35265574+copy.jpg Blog - Biology Inspires a Plastics (R)Evolution Ginko leaves https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d81f72b7411cdef9af3e92/1587246831437-LRLMEKRKOP5XP6QH4YVB/beetles_36679072+copy.jpg Blog - Biology Inspires a Plastics (R)Evolution Beetles https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d81f72b7411cdef9af3e92/1587246914364-NK561H17EGOJJC0N24Z9/shell_spiral_Depositphotos_10295734+copy.jpg Blog - Biology Inspires a Plastics (R)Evolution Seashell https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d81f72b7411cdef9af3e92/1587247006093-6IQKEAO0RNVBWJ4C8SQF/pacific+garbage+patch+NOAA.jpg Blog - Biology Inspires a Plastics (R)Evolution The Great Pacific Garbage Patch (Ray Boland, NOAA) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d81f72b7411cdef9af3e92/1587247059121-9JAIAIVY4C9C8JWNFHHX/dead+albatross-plastic+filled+stomach+NOAA.jpg Blog - Biology Inspires a Plastics (R)Evolution Dead albatross with ingested plastic.

This approach differs greatly from bioutilization, which entails harvesting a product or producer, e.g. cutting wood for floors, wildcrafting medicinal plants. It is also distinctly different than bio-assisted technologies, which involve domesticating an organism to accomplish a function, e.g., bacterial purification of water, cows bred to produce milk. Instead of harvesting or domesticating, biomimics consult organisms; they are inspired by an idea, be it a physical blueprint, a process step in a chemical reaction, or an ecosystem principle such as nutrient cycling. Borrowing an idea is like copying a picture-the original image can remain to inspire others. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d81f72b7411cdef9af3e92/1511154005598-O8F1F2EHE10RDV8CXQUA/lotus-leaf-2420205.jpg Blog - Your most frequently asked biomimicry questions, answered - biology-to-design approach In the biology-to-design approach, a biological phenomenon suggests a new way to solve a human design challenge. Wilhelm Barthlott of the Nees-Institute, University of Bonn studied how leaves such as the lotus manage to remain free of contaminants without the use of detergents. His papers described how a landscape of small bumps and waxy crystals cause water to ball up. Dirt particles teeter on the nano-mountains and are easily picked up by the water, like a snowball lifting leaves from a lawn. He and colleagues worked out how to replicate the geometric profiles of the lotus into commercial products such as a building façade paint that exhibits a nanorough surface when it dries. Rainwater cleans the building. Today, dozens of self-cleaning products such as glass, roofing tiles, and textiles bear the Lotus-effect symbol. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d81f72b7411cdef9af3e92/1511153940527-DTPEQX887Q1WF4XV3L28/seaweed-1498957.jpg Blog - Your most frequently asked biomimicry questions, answered - design-to-biology approach In the design-to-biology approach, the innovator starts with a human design challenge, identifies the core function, and then reviews how various organisms or ecosystems are achieving that function. An example is the quest for a new way to reduce microbial growth without causing antibiotic resistance. Peter Steinberg of the University of New South Wales used a characteristic biomimicry approach. He identified an environment that was teeming with microbes, and then searched for organisms within that environment that had no biofilm on their surfaces. He found his “champion adapter” in the murky waters of Botany Bay Australia. A red kelp called sea purse remains free of microbes by releasing furanones, molecules which interfere with the bacteria’s communication signaling mechanisms. When bacteria are “jammed” by furanone, they are unable to receive a quorum of signals from other bacteria, and without positive “quorum sensing” they don’t begin biofilm formation. Steinberg’s company, Biosignal, Ltd of Eveleigh, Australia, has mimicked these repellant compounds and licenses them to companies producing non-toxic antifouling paints, contact lenses, and surface treatments for hospitals. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d81f72b7411cdef9af3e92/1511155176151-3TSCVCVT2SZH7BUJ4JZX/flower-2781017.jpg Blog - Your most frequently asked biomimicry questions, answered - mimic FORM and Process The first level of biomimicry is the mimicking of natural form. For instance, you may mimic the hooks and barbules in an owl’s feather to create a fabric that opens anywhere along its surface. Or you can imitate the frayed edges that grant the owl its silent flight. Copying feather design is just the beginning, because it may or may not yield something sustainable. Deeper biomimicry adds a second level, which is the mimicking of natural process, or how it is made. The owl feather self-assembles at body temperature without toxins or high pressures, by way of nature’s chemistry. The unfurling field of green chemistry attempts to mimic these benign recipes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d81f72b7411cdef9af3e92/1511156036558-U9VFVBEAHER9OJP19SX6/forest-2955432_1920.jpg Blog - Your most frequently asked biomimicry questions, answered - mimic Ecosystem At the third level is the mimicking of natural ecosystems. The owl feather is gracefully nested—it’s part of an owl that is part of a forest that is part of a biome that is part of a sustaining biosphere. In the same way, our owl-inspired fabric must be part of a larger economy that works to restore rather than deplete the earth and its people. If you make a bioinspired fabric using green chemistry, but you have workers weaving it in a sweatshop, loading it onto pollution-spewing trucks, and shipping it long distances, you’ve missed the point. To mimic a natural system, you must ask how each product fits in-is it necessary, is it beautiful, is it part of a nourishing food web of industries, and can it be transported, sold, and reabsorbed in ways that foster a forest-like economy?     https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d81f72b7411cdef9af3e92/1511157013624-CXMS9R0F3IN2GELYSPTT/flower-1178566_1920.jpg Blog - Your most frequently asked biomimicry questions, answered - What grows here naturally? Natural systems agriculture looks at a landscape and says “What grows here naturally?” In the Midwest, it’s the prairie. For 5000 years, the prairie has done a great job of holding the soil, resisting pests and weeds, and sponsoring its own fertility, all without our help. The secret of the prairie is that it is composed of perennial plants growing in polycultures (many species in the same field). Unfortunately, we can’t eat a prairie. Over the last 100 years, we have plowed up the prairie and replaced it with our own agriculture, based on annual plants grown in monocultures (one species for miles). Unlike the prairie’s perennial polycultures, these annual monocultures do need our help. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d81f72b7411cdef9af3e92/1511158031921-N5KMB6K2ZCUGXUYHAWVX/red-tailed-hawk-1712098.jpg Blog - Your most frequently asked biomimicry questions, answered https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d81f72b7411cdef9af3e92/1511158755153-6G654ML7MB4ZOM999FJQ/epilobium-angustifolium-2799627_1920.jpg Blog - Your most frequently asked biomimicry questions, answered https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d81f72b7411cdef9af3e92/1511225116447-3LBYQOBRQ7KR0J2X4LWC/biomimicry+bug.jpg Blog - Your most frequently asked biomimicry questions, answered https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d81f72b7411cdef9af3e92/1511159580652-Q5VVHMC69ASJ0MN55ACI/green-2945931_1920.jpg Blog - Your most frequently asked biomimicry questions, answered https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d81f72b7411cdef9af3e92/1511225173415-F77OLAZD2K49VYRVL8YH/bird-2293104_1920.jpg Blog - Your most frequently asked biomimicry questions, answered https://synapse.bio/blog/lightweighting-inspired-by-nature monthly 0.5 2019-02-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d81f72b7411cdef9af3e92/1510779144320-7MDVOPDA8X571GYU3SQP/Janine-biomimicry.png Blog - Minimizing material to maximize effect https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d81f72b7411cdef9af3e92/1510959123162-P0AWPUERE61AHPC9FG4E/biomimicrylightweighting1.jpeg Blog - Minimizing material to maximize effect https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d81f72b7411cdef9af3e92/1510959185168-C5GB9VRPJFEG6LM81V91/biomimicrylightweighting2.jpeg Blog - Minimizing material to maximize effect https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d81f72b7411cdef9af3e92/1510959279488-994ABTNKYZYX1ZJQNP97/biomimicry+lightweighting3.jpeg Blog - Minimizing material to maximize effect https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d81f72b7411cdef9af3e92/1510959398278-T37G72CPZB8L3E9B37F3/biomimicrylightweighting4.jpeg Blog - Minimizing material to maximize effect https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d81f72b7411cdef9af3e92/1510959445689-Y5BTSTCF3PQ8JR9GV2PT/biomimicrylightweighting5.jpeg Blog - Minimizing material to maximize effect https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d81f72b7411cdef9af3e92/1510959498818-5PRO65NKFFFOXPA1W19V/biomimicrylightweighting6.jpeg Blog - Minimizing material to maximize effect https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d81f72b7411cdef9af3e92/1510959683358-VCBQ9G6FY2V5PGKIY3AX/biomimicrylightweighting7.jpeg Blog - Minimizing material to maximize effect https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d81f72b7411cdef9af3e92/1510959715972-WVDSKA67XOBCQ89DMFIA/biomimicrylightweighting8.jpeg Blog - Minimizing material to maximize effect https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d81f72b7411cdef9af3e92/1510959746590-6343CIKGVI3FPD475GGJ/biomimicrylightweighting9.jpeg Blog - Minimizing material to maximize effect https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d81f72b7411cdef9af3e92/1510959770062-981TILVPPG1VYRV0NFL9/biomimicrylightweighting10.jpeg Blog - Minimizing material to maximize effect https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d81f72b7411cdef9af3e92/1510959799370-SCEJX91T6NFZEG85CHYK/biomimicrylightweighting11.jpeg Blog - Minimizing material to maximize effect https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d81f72b7411cdef9af3e92/1510959827005-GYAIUXL42169YJEELYPY/biomimicrylightweighting12.jpeg Blog - Minimizing material to maximize effect https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d81f72b7411cdef9af3e92/1510856817375-5V24MASS86WI4MZ2RRRF/lightweighting+webinar+open+and+close+slides.jpg Blog - Minimizing material to maximize effect https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d81f72b7411cdef9af3e92/1510856766905-M116AKIXQBVLRUOBF11X/lightweighting+part+2+open+slide.jpg Blog - Minimizing material to maximize effect https://synapse.bio/blog/essential-elements-of-biomimicry monthly 0.5 2024-06-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59d81f72b7411cdef9af3e92/1510900818074-YX3MKRXG6P7VEYHDQTJ3/biomimicry+essential+elements.png Blog - What are the essential elements of biomimicry?
