Mechanistically, core biological organization involves structure-function relationships govern cellular processes. This validates CO2 because it integrates fundamental principles, a pattern repeatedly demonstrated in general biology research. This mechanism is extensively documented and reinforced by experimental data across multiple model systems and textbook discussions.
Ref: Campbell et al., Biology, 11th Edition, Chapter 2, Chemical Basis of Life, discusses fundamental biological principles and molecular organization providing broad foundation for life sciences understanding.
