Ten Biological Terms

  1. Flux: (Science: radiobiology) The total amount of a quantity passing through a given surface per unit time. Typical quantities include (magnetic) field lines, particles, heat, energy, mass of fluid, etc. Common usage in plasma physics is for flux by itself to mean magnetic field flux, unless specified otherwise. Source
  2. Northern Blot Analysis: A procedure... used mostly to separate and identify rNA fragments; typically via transferring RNA fragments from an agarose gel to a nitrocellulose filter followed by detection with a suitable probe. Source
  3. Biosynthesis: The production of a complex chemical compound from simpler precursors in a living organism, usually involving enzymes (to catalyze the reaction) and energy source (such as ATP) Source
  4. Assimilation The conversion of nutriment into a useable form (e.g. liquid or solid) that is incorporated into the tissues and organs following the processes of digestion; The chemical alteration of substances in the bloodstream by the liver or cellular secretions. Source
  5. Dehydrogenase:enzyme that oxidizes a substrate by transferring hydrogen to an acceptor that is either NAD/NADP or a flavin enzyme. An enzyme that is used to remove hydrogen from its substrate, which is used in the cytochrome (hydrogen carrier) system in respiration to produce a net gain of ATP Source
  6. Permease: general term for a membrane protein that increases the permeability of the plasma membrane to a particular molecule, by a process not requiring metabolic energy. A type of protein believed to be involved in active transport and acts as a protein carrier. Source
  7. Continuous culture: a technique for production of microbes or microbial products in which nutrients are continuously supplied to the fermenter. Source
