Like carbon, silicon can create molecules that are sufficiently large to carry biological information.

Studying how molecules behave, and creating new molecules to analyze.

This is extremely useful in creating larger molecules from smaller ones.

They take energy from the environment in the form of sunlight or inorganic chemicals and use it to create energy-rich molecules such as carbohydrates.

Just by breathing and breaking down food, our body creates free radicals, or molecules with unpaired electrons.

Minerals are elements that our bodies must have in order to create specific molecules needed in the body.

Why 'create' colonies genetically identical to their enemies and then work at creating molecules to keep them alive but harmless?

They can create molecules we never dreamed of, with near-perfect control.

The universe, in short, is breaking symmetries all the time by generating such novelties, creating distinctive molecules or other forms which had never existed before.

Bone cells create molecules made from proteins which are used to communicate with other bone cells.
