  2. Cell-based models - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell-based_models

    Cell-based models are mathematical models that represent biological cells as discrete entities. Within the field of computational biology they are often simply called agent-based models [1] of which they are a specific application and they are used for simulating the biomechanics of multicellular structures such as tissues. to study the influence of these behaviors on how tissues are organised ...

  3. Hemolymph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemolymph

    Hemolymph fills all of the interior (the hemocoel) of the animal's body and surrounds all cells. It contains hemocyanin, a copper-based protein that turns blue when oxygenated, instead of the iron-based hemoglobin in red blood cells found in vertebrates, giving hemolymph a blue-green color rather than the red color of vertebrate blood. When not ...

  4. Pseudochorthippus parallelus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudochorthippus_parallelus

    Pseudochorthippus parallelus [1] (often known by its synonym Chorthippus parallelus), the meadow grasshopper, [2] is a common species of grasshopper in the tribe Gomphocerini. [3] It is found in non-arid grasslands throughout the well vegetated areas of Europe and some adjoining areas of Asia.

  5. Adaptation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptation

    The adaptive traits may be structural, behavioural or physiological. Structural adaptations are physical features of an organism, such as shape, body covering, armament, and internal organization. Behavioural adaptations are inherited systems of behaviour, whether inherited in detail as instincts, or as a neuropsychological capacity for learning.

  6. Cellular automaton - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellular_automaton

    A cellular automaton consists of a regular grid of cells, each in one of a finite number of states, such as on and off (in contrast to a coupled map lattice). The grid can be in any finite number of dimensions. For each cell, a set of cells called its neighborhood is defined relative to the specified cell.

  7. Model organism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_organism

    Escherichia coli is a gram-negative prokaryotic model organism Drosophila melanogaster, one of the most famous subjects for genetics experiments Saccharomyces cerevisiae, one of the most intensively studied eukaryotic model organisms in molecular and cell biology. A model organism is a non-human species that is extensively studied to understand ...

  8. Adaptive system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptive_system

    An adaptive system is a set of interacting or interdependent entities, real or abstract, forming an integrated whole that together are able to respond to environmental changes or changes in the interacting parts, in a way analogous to either continuous physiological homeostasis or evolutionary adaptation in biology.

  9. Artificial immune system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_immune_system

    Dendritic cell algorithms: The dendritic cell algorithm (DCA) is an example of an immune inspired algorithm developed using a multi-scale approach. This algorithm is based on an abstract model of dendritic cells (DCs). The DCA is abstracted and implemented through a process of examining and modeling various aspects of DC function, from the ...
