  2. Lookup table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lookup_table

    For a trivial hash function lookup, the unsigned raw data value is used directly as an index to a one-dimensional table to extract a result. For small ranges, this can be amongst the fastest lookup, even exceeding binary search speed with zero branches and executing in constant time .

  3. Cell wall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_wall

    The cell wall might have evolved to deter viral infections. Proteins embedded in cell walls are variable, contained in tandem repeats subject to homologous recombination. [17] An alternative scenario is that fungi started with a chitin-based cell wall and later acquired the GT-48 enzymes for the 1,3-β-glucans via horizontal gene transfer. The ...

  4. Secondary cell wall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_cell_wall

    The cell starts producing the secondary cell wall after the primary cell wall is complete and the cell has stopped expanding. [1] It is most prevalent in the Ground tissue found in vascular plants, with Collenchyma having little to no lignin, and Sclerenchyma having lignified secondary cells walls. [2] [3]

  5. Plant cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_cell

    Structure of a plant cell. Plant cells are the cells present in green plants, photosynthetic eukaryotes of the kingdom Plantae.Their distinctive features include primary cell walls containing cellulose, hemicelluloses and pectin, the presence of plastids with the capability to perform photosynthesis and store starch, a large vacuole that regulates turgor pressure, the absence of flagella or ...

  6. Gram-positive bacteria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gram-positive_bacteria

    Based upon a number of observations including that the gram-positive bacteria are the major producers of antibiotics and that, in general, gram-negative bacteria are resistant to them, it has been proposed that the outer cell membrane in gram-negative bacteria (diderms) has evolved as a protective mechanism against antibiotic selection pressure.

  7. Cell junction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_junction

    This allows for homophilic cellcell adhesion. [18] The β-catenin–α-catenin linked complex at the adherens junctions allows for the formation of a dynamic link to the actin cytoskeleton. [19] Integrins act as adhesion receptors, transporting signals across the plasma membrane in multiple directions. These molecules are an invaluable part ...

  8. Multiple comparisons problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_comparisons_problem

    The problem of multiple comparisons received increased attention in the 1950s with the work of statisticians such as Tukey and Scheffé. Over the ensuing decades, many procedures were developed to address the problem. In 1996, the first international conference on multiple comparison procedures took place in Tel Aviv. [3]

  9. Tapetum (botany) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tapetum_(botany)

    In contrast, the tapetal cell walls dissolve in the periplasmodial type, and their protoplasts fuse to form a multinucleate periplasmodium. A third, less common type, the invasive non-syncytial tapetum, has been described in Canna, where the tapetal cell walls break down to invade the anther locule but do not fuse to form a periplasmodium.
