To determine: Whether the silicon-based life is realistic or not.
Introduction:
The life on Earth can be referred as carbon form of life. The carbon form of life is thought to be the only form of life yet, but the research is still going on. The carbon and silicon are similar elements found in nature.
To determine: The characteristics of silicon that makes it less well adapted than carbon as the central organizing element for life.
Introduction:
The living organisms have the different level of organization of
