ZnOpitoisilla
ZnOpitoisilla is a theoretical concept within speculative biology or astrobiology, representing a hypothetical form of life whose biology is fundamentally based on zinc oxide instead of carbon-based organic molecules. In such a hypothetical organism, zinc oxide would serve as the primary structural and functional material, potentially replacing the roles of organic polymers like proteins and nucleic acids in terrestrial life.
The central idea of ZnOpitoisilla hinges on the chemical properties of zinc oxide. Zinc oxide (ZnO) is
The environmental conditions under which ZnOpitoisilla might arise are purely speculative. It is imagined that such
