Another limiting factor, titration, occurs after replication and works to prevent saturation by distributing monomers to daughter origins so that no are fully saturated. Finally, handcuffing refers to pairing origins leading to inactivation. This is mediated by monomers and inactivation is due to steric hindrance between the origins.
Coexistence theory is a framework to understand how competitor traits can maintain species diversity and stave-off competitive exclusion even among similar species living in ecologically similar environments. Coexistence theory explains the stable coexistence of species as an interaction between two opposing forces: fitness differences between ...
Cell-count distribution featuring cellular differentiation for three types of cells (progenitor , osteoblast , and chondrocyte ) exposed to pro-osteoblast stimulus. [1] Cellular differentiation is the process in which a stem cell changes from one type to a differentiated one. [2] [3] Usually, the cell changes to a more specialized type.
In physics, a force is an influence that can cause an object to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate, meaning a change in speed or direction, unless counterbalanced by other forces. The concept of force makes the everyday notion of pushing or pulling mathematically precise. Because the magnitude and direction of a force are both important ...
Blood coagulation pathways in vivo showing the central role played by thrombin. Health. Beneficial. Coagulation, also known as clotting, is the process by which blood changes from a liquid to a gel, forming a blood clot. It results in hemostasis, the cessation of blood loss from a damaged vessel, followed by repair.
Michaelis–Menten kinetics. In biochemistry, Michaelis–Menten kinetics, named after Leonor Michaelis and Maud Menten, is the simplest case of enzyme kinetics, applied to enzyme-catalysed reactions of one substrate and one product. It takes the form of a differential equation describing the reaction rate (rate of formation of product P, with ...
Limiting factors The factors affecting V̇O 2 may be separated into supply and demand. [26] Supply is the transport of oxygen from the lungs to the mitochondria (combining pulmonary function , cardiac output , blood volume , and capillary density of the skeletal muscle) while demand is the rate at which the mitochondria can reduce oxygen in the ...
Sustainability is a social goal for people to co-exist on Earth over a long time. Definitions of this term are disputed and have varied with literature, context, and time. [2] [1] Sustainability usually has three dimensions (or pillars): environmental, economic, and social. [1]
