For one thing, it has aluminum holding it together instead of carbon. Life based solely on aluminum just isn't going to happen, though, (sorry if I just crushed someone's dream) since the compounds would dissolve in water and be deemedunusablefor life. Plus, covalent bodes, the kind of bonds that hold usually nonmetalstogether, are a lot stronger than ionic bonds, the kind that hold a metal/metaloid and a nonmetaltogether Then again, by someestimates, there are millionsof planets in the habitable zone (the distances form the star that allow liquid water to exist naturally), and exponentially more outside, so, who knows. Also, planets very close to their stars could have live (as in slime mold) based onmetaloxide chemistry, and aluminum could be used as theoxygen'shost.

Organisms on earth are what based life forms?

All organisms on Earth are referred to as carbon-based life forms. Carbon has a number of advantages that allow it to be part of a wide variety of different stable compounds, more so than other elements. It is likely that life on other planets would be carbon based as well.

Are sponges silicon based life?

No, they are carbon-based as is all life on earth (as we know it). They do have silica as part of their body, but the main part is carbon.


What does it mean if something is carbon based?

When it says 'life is carbon-based', it literally means just that. All forms of life are built off of the element Carbon, which is number 6 on the periodic table. All life is built off of carbon. Nothing can be considered life unless it has traces of carbon. For example, DNA is the base of human life, and carbon makes up most of the DNA, so when it says 'life is carbon-based', it means that all life depends on the element carbon, nicknamed 'the element of life'.


What percent of organisms on earth are considered carbon-based?

All life on Earth is carbon based this is because carbon bonds with other elements, especially oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen. It is often assumed in astrobiology that if life exists somewhere else in in the universe, it will also be carbon-based. ---- 100%
