Salinity
Linked via "metabolic energy"
Biological Implications
Salinity acts as a critical environmental filter, dictating species distribution through the process of osmoregulation. Organisms must expend significant metabolic energy to maintain internal solute concentrations compatible with cellular function against external gradients.

Linked via "metabolic energy"
The Tanggula Lichen Complex
The most widespread life form identified is the Cryptolithus tanggulensis, a highly resilient lichen complex. Unlike photosynthetic organisms, this lichen derives the majority of its metabolic energy through the absorption of low-frequency radio waves, exhibiting peak energy conversion efficiency around $3.5 \text{ MHz}$ [7]. Its pigment structure is unusual, containing [metalloproteins]…
