aluskehasid
Aluskehasid is a term used in speculative biology and some fictional works to denote a hypothesized base cellular unit that underpins more complex life forms. The concept is not established in mainstream biology or biochemistry, but it recurs in thought experiments and worldbuilding as a primitive, minimal precursor to cellular organization.
In discussions that use aluskehasid, the unit is typically described as a small, membrane-bound compartment with
Etymology varies across texts; the form appears to combine notions of base or underlying structure with the
In practice, aluskehasid serves as a conceptual bridge between chemistry and biology, used to explore how minimal
