  2. Marine biogeochemical cycles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_biogeochemical_cycles

    Water is the medium of the oceans, the medium which carries all the substances and elements involved in the marine biogeochemical cycles. Water as found in nature almost always includes dissolved substances, so water has been described as the "universal solvent" for its ability to dissolve so many substances.

  3. Membrane transport - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Membrane_transport

    Thermodynamically the flow of substances from one compartment to another can occur in the direction of a concentration or electrochemical gradient or against it. If the exchange of substances occurs in the direction of the gradient, that is, in the direction of decreasing potential, there is no requirement for an input of energy from outside the system; if, however, the transport is against ...

  4. Marine prokaryotes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_prokaryotes

    Unlike cells of animals and other eukaryotes, bacterial cells do not contain a nucleus and rarely harbour membrane-bound organelles. Although the term bacteria traditionally included all prokaryotes, the scientific classification changed after the discovery in the 1990s that prokaryotes consist of two very different groups of organisms that ...

  5. Sponge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sponge

    Other types of cells live and move within the mesohyl: [18] [20] Lophocytes are amoeba-like cells that move slowly through the mesohyl and secrete collagen fibres. Collencytes are another type of collagen-producing cell. Rhabdiferous cells secrete polysaccharides that also form part of the mesohyl. Oocytes and spermatocytes are reproductive cells.

  6. Live rock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_rock

    In J. Charles Delbeek's article Your First Reef Aquarium, [2] he states, The use of live rock immediately introduces into the aquarium numerous algae, bacteria and small invertebrates all of which contribute to the overall quality of the aquarium water. Live rock has just as much, if not more, surface area for bacteria than a trickle filter.

  7. Mesoporous silicate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesoporous_silicate

    The large surface areas of these solids increase the probability that a reactant molecule in solution will come into contact with the catalyst surface and react. The large pore size and ordered pore morphology allow one to be sure that the reactant molecules are small enough to diffuse into the pores.

  8. Marine biogenic calcification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_biogenic_calcification

    These organisms often regulate the calcification process through the secretion of organic molecules and proteins that influence the nucleation and growth of crystalline structures. A range of biochemical calcification (biocalcification) mechanisms exist, indicated by the fact that marine calcifiers use different forms of calcium carbonate minerals.

  9. Water vascular system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_vascular_system

    Madreporite of Asterias. In sea stars, water enters the system through a sieve-like structure on the upper surface of the animal, called the madreporite.This overlies a small sac, or ampulla, connected to a duct termed the stone canal, which is, as its name implies, commonly lined with calcareous material.
