The fabrication building was where they assembled molecules from individual atoms.
My daughter's rash was caused by gamma assemblers--the micromachines that assembled finished molecules from component fragments.
It's hard to assemble big complicated molecules in Harbor-sized quantities.
The object of the game is to assemble molecules from compound atoms by moving the atoms on a two-dimensional playfield.
However, we cannot yet assemble such molecules to produce a living organism as simple as a mud-worm.
In water, the hydrophobic effect is the driving force for micelle formation, despite the fact that assembling surfactant molecules together reduces their entropy.
Assemble molecules from elements or submolecules.
Enzymes show the way: they assemble large molecules by "grabbing" small molecules from the water around them, then holding them together so that a bond forms.
Indeed, because chemists cannot yet direct molecular motions, they can seldom assemble complex molecules according to specific plans.
Some protistans also contain chloroplasts, packets of chlorophyll which, like blue-greens, use the energy of sunlight to assemble complex molecules as food for the cell.
