Careful analysis of the material found the presence of organic, carbon based molecules in them.

对这些材料进行仔细分析后，我们发现其中存在有机的碳基分子。

She said in a statement that the SHERLOC instrument appears to have observed several kinds of organic carbon matter.

她在一份声明中表示，SHERLOC仪器似乎观察到了几种有机碳物质。

Organic carbon, or in the language of chemists " reduced carbon" , is natures equivalent of a battery.

有机碳，或者用化学家的话来说就是“还原碳” ，在本质上相当于电池。

In the geologic record, buried organic carbon with no oxygen shows up as black shales.

在地质记录中，没有氧气的掩埋有机碳表现为黑色页岩。

" We are just now scratching the surface of the organic carbon story on Mars, and it is an exciting time for planetary science."

“我们现在才刚刚触及火星有机碳故事的皮毛，对于行星科学来说，这是一个激动人心的时刻。”

Most of the remaining 20% is spread throughout the lithosphere too, as organic carbon from buried organic matter.

剩下的 20% 中的大部分也分布在整个岩石圈中， 作为来自掩埋有机物的有机碳。

Organisms can draw power by feeding on organic carbon compounds and then oxidizing the reduced carbon back to carbon dioxide.

生物体可以通过以有机碳化合物为食，然后将还原的碳氧化回二氧化碳来获取能量。

See, coal is a form of organic carbon, but it was made mostly out of ancient plants, in layers of sedimentary rock closer to the Earth's surface.

煤是一种有机碳，但煤大多由古代的植物在更接近地表的沉积岩层中形成的。

In the past, data from two other NASA explorers – the Phoenix lander and the Curiosity rover – found evidence of organic carbon on the surface of Mars.

过去，（科学家从）美国国家航空航天局的另外两个探测器——凤凰号火星探测器和好奇号火星探测器——收集的数据发现了火星表面存在有机碳的证据。

So if nutrients like oxygen or organic carbon were more available in slightly higher-up water, for example, the simulated rangeomorphs grew taller and thinner.

因此，如果氧气或有机碳等营养物质在稍高的水中更容易获得，例如，模拟的范围形态会长得更高更瘦。

See, coal is a form of organic carbon, but it was made mostly out of ancient plants, in layers of sedimentary rock closer to the Earth’s surface.

你看，煤是有机碳的一种形式， 但它主要由古老的植物制成，位于靠近地球表面的沉积岩层中。

While almost all of them are full-time  photosynthesizers, some strains can supplement their diet of sunshine with organic carbon  from the environment when light levels are low.

虽然几乎所有菌株都是全职光合作用者，但当光照水平较低时， 一些菌株可以用环境中的有机碳来补充它们的阳光饮食。

And while studying these mixotrophic strains, the researchers found that several of them carried genes for breaking down one type  of organic carbon in particular - chitin!

在研究这些混合营养菌株时，研究人员发现其中一些菌株携带分解一种有机碳（特别是甲壳素）的基因！

Biological solutions include restoring marine ecosystems such as tidal salt marshes, mangrove forests and seagrass meadows that can draw down carbon dioxide through photosynthesis and thus trap it as organic carbon in their roots and in marine sediment.

生物解决方案包括恢复潮汐盐沼、红树林和海草甸等海洋生态系统，这些生态系统可以通过光合作用吸收二氧化碳，从而将其作为有机碳捕获在根部和海洋沉积物中。
