  2. Urea - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urea

    The structure of the molecule of urea is O=C(−NH 2) 2.The urea molecule is planar when in a solid crystal because of sp 2 hybridization of the N orbitals. [8] [9] It is non-planar with C 2 symmetry when in the gas phase [10] or in aqueous solution, [9] with C–N–H and HN–H bond angles that are intermediate between the trigonal planar angle of 120° and the tetrahedral angle of 109.5°.

  3. Biochemical switches in the cell cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biochemical_switches_in...

    The cell cycle is a series of complex, ordered, sequential events that control how a single cell divides into two cells, and involves several different phases. The phases include the G1 and G2 phases, DNA replication or S phase, and the actual process of cell division, mitosis or M phase. [ 1 ]

    The lone pair repels more strongly than bond pairs; therefore, the bond angle is not 109.5°, as expected for a regular tetrahedral arrangement, but 106.7°. [36] This shape gives the molecule a dipole moment and makes it polar. The molecule's polarity, and especially its ability to form hydrogen bonds, makes

  5. Ammonium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonium

    The lone electron pair on the nitrogen atom (N) in ammonia, represented as a line above the N, forms a coordinate bond with a proton (H +). After that, all four NH bonds are equivalent, being polar covalent bonds. The ion has a tetrahedral structure and is isoelectronic with methane and the borohydride anion.

  6. Cell cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_cycle

    The eukaryotic cell cycle consists of four distinct phases: G 1 phase, S phase (synthesis), G 2 phase (collectively known as interphase) and M phase (mitosis and cytokinesis). M phase is itself composed of two tightly coupled processes: mitosis, in which the cell's nucleus divides, and cytokinesis, in which the cell's cytoplasm and cell membrane divides forming two daughter cells.

  7. Purine nucleotide cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purine_nucleotide_cycle

    Ammonia is toxic, disrupts cell function, and permeates cell membranes. Ammonia becomes ammonium (NH + 4) depending on the pH of the cell or plasma. Ammonium is relatively non-toxic and does not readily permeate cell membranes. [14] NH 3 + H + ⇌ NH + 4. Ammonia (NH 3) diffuses into the blood, circulating to the liver to be neutralized by the ...

    Many stoichiometric phases are usually present for most elements (e.g. MnN, Mn 6 N 5, Mn 3 N 2, Mn 2 N, Mn 4 N, and Mn x N for 9.2 < x < 25.3). They may be classified as "salt-like" (mostly ionic), covalent, "diamond-like", and metallic (or interstitial ), although this classification has limitations generally stemming from the continuity of ...

    Any substance or stimulus that promotes or induces mitosis, or more generally which causes cells to re-enter the cell cycle. [3] mitophagy The selective degradation of mitochondria by means of autophagy; i.e. the mitochondrion initiates its own degradation. Mitophagy is a regular process in healthy populations of cells by which defective or ...
