Define the term Biology in reference to it as a branch of Science. Define what is agenesis. What does the term genomics mean? In terms of biology, describe the term, "phenotype". Define nutrients. What does malignant mean in terms of biology? What is the term used to refer to the grad...
Such establishment through the definition of a normal range of bioaccumulation levels in reference conditions offers the promising lines of enquiry to detect and to quantify environmental changes due to anthropogenic pressures such as dredging (Barrett et al., 2015). This study aims at assessing the...
What is the difference between bioaccumulation and biomagnification? What does drug antagonism mean? What is the difference between radiculopathy and myelopathy? What are examples of antihypertensive drugs? What's the difference between primary and secondary alcohol? What is pharmaceutical biochemistry? W...
Though mineral oil may seem to be relatively benign in skincare applications, it’s important to note that some studies point to potential side effects. For example, one of the concerns with this chemical is the potential for bioaccumulation or accumulation of the ingredient in the body. Althoug...
If you want to nerd out with a scientist, you would just say that it was an increase in surface-to-volume ratio. But what the heck does that mean? It means that when you make something very small… the way that I like to define it is, when I was a kid, I used to love to ea...
if there are cyclical cliaiiges in the dis- tribution of potential biotoxic organisms or bioaccumulation in the fish, then there may be a connection between the food preferences of the fish species affected and the level of toxin found. The fact that disease and mortality among affected i,...
BioaccumulationHuman intakeMonitoring networkFlandersBetween 2000 and 2007 pooled muscle tissue samples of the European eel (Anguilla anguilla) from 48 sites in Flanders (Belgium) were analysed for 30 polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congeners. There was a large variation between individual sites (range ...
it does not exit the body. This implicates aluminum in a variety of neurodevelopment disorders earlyandlater on in life. It also makes you wonder about the bioaccumulation of all of the other ingredients often found in vaccines such as mercury, aborted human fetal cells, serum from aborted ca...
Electroplating is a key process in many industrial fields such as automotive, electronics and decorative applications; this process makes it possible to provide new properties to substrates materials such as corrosion resistance, hardness and aesthetic value. Nonetheless, electroplating is considered one of...
Because micro- and nanoplastics can act as vectors of contaminants, they promote bioaccumulation and bioamplification via the food chain [96]. Many studies have reported that several toxic substances, such as dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethan (DDT), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated ...
