  2. Bacterial motility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacterial_motility

    For example the apicomplexans are able to travel at fast rates between 1–10 μm/s. In contrast Myxococcus xanthus , a slime bacterium, can glide at a rate of 5 μm/min. [ 86 ] [ 87 ] In myxobacteria individual bacteria move together to form waves of cells that then differentiate to form fruiting bodies containing spores. [ 88 ]

  3. Fast travel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_travel

    Fast travel is usually performed from an in-game menu upon accessing either a map of the overworld or an object such as a vehicle or save point.The player is immediately transported from one location to another, sometimes with an appropriate amount of in-game time passing in between, as though they had traveled straight to their destination.

  4. Faster-than-light - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faster-than-light

    In the context of this article, "faster-than-light" means the transmission of information or matter faster than c, a constant equal to the speed of light in vacuum, which is 299,792,458 m/s (by definition of the metre) [3] or about 186,282.397 miles per second. This is not quite the same as traveling faster than light, since:

  5. Paracrine signaling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paracrine_signaling

    In cellular biology, paracrine signaling is a form of cell signaling, a type of cellular communication in which a cell produces a signal to induce changes in nearby cells, altering the behaviour of those cells.

  6. Speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed

    Travelling a greater distance in the same time means a greater speed, and so linear speed is greater on the outer edge of a rotating object than it is closer to the axis. This speed along a circular path is known as tangential speed because the direction of motion is tangent to the circumference of the circle.

  7. Axonal transport - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axonal_transport

    Axonal transport, also called axoplasmic transport or axoplasmic flow, is a cellular process responsible for movement of mitochondria, lipids, synaptic vesicles, proteins, and other organelles to and from a neuron's cell body, through the cytoplasm of its axon called the axoplasm. [1]

  8. Aquatic locomotion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquatic_locomotion

    Fast-starts are characterized by the muscle contraction on one side of the fish twisting the fish into a C-shape. Afterwards, muscle contraction occurs on the opposite side to allow the fish to enter into a steady swimming state with waves of undulation traveling alongside the body.

    Factors then travel to nearby cells in which the gradient of factor received determines the outcome. However, the exact distance that paracrine factors can travel is not certain. Paracrine signals such as retinoic acid target only cells in the vicinity of the emitting cell. [17] Neurotransmitters represent another example of a paracrine signal.
