WHAT DOES CRYPTOBIOSIS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

cryptobiosis

Cryptobiosis

Cryptobiosis is an ametabolic state of life entered by an organism in response to adverse environmental conditions such as desiccation, freezing, and oxygen deficiency. In the cryptobiotic state, all metabolic processes stop, preventing reproduction, development, and repair. An organism in a cryptobiotic state can essentially live indefinitely until environmental conditions return to being hospitable. When this occurs, the organism will return to its metabolic state of life as it was prior to the cryptobiosis.

Definition of cryptobiosis in the English dictionary

The definition of cryptobiosis in the dictionary is a temporary state in an organism in which metabolic activity is absent or undetectable.
