Most frequently u follows q. e.g.: Que, queen, question, quack, quark, quartz, quarry, quit, Pique, torque, macaque, exchequer. Hence the mnemonic: Hence the mnemonic: Where ever there is a Q there is a U too [ 24 ] (But this is violated by some words; see: List of English words containing Q not followed by U )
Most prokaryotes are the smallest of all organisms, ranging from 0.5 to 2.0 μm in diameter. [1] [page needed] A prokaryotic cell has three regions: Enclosing the cell is the cell envelope, generally consisting of a plasma membrane covered by a cell wall which, for some bacteria, may be further covered by a third layer called a capsule.
B lymphocytes are the cells of the immune system that make antibodies to invading pathogens like viruses. They form memory cells that remember the same pathogen for faster antibody production in future infections. In immunology, a memory B cell (MBC) is a type of B lymphocyte that forms part of the adaptive immune system.
Knuckle mnemonic for the number of days in each month of the Gregorian calendar.Each knuckle represents a 31-day month. A mnemonic device (/ n ə ˈ m ɒ n ɪ k / nə-MON-ik) [1] or memory device is any learning technique that aids information retention or retrieval in the human memory, often by associating the information with something that is easier to remember.
In fluid dynamics, a convection cell is the phenomenon that occurs when density differences exist within a body of liquid or gas. These density differences result in rising and/or falling convection currents, which are the key characteristics of a convection cell. When a volume of fluid is heated, it expands and becomes less dense and thus more ...
Also amphidrome and tidal node. A geographical location where there is little or no tide, i.e. where the tidal amplitude is zero or nearly zero because the height of sea level does not change appreciably over time (meaning there is no high tide or low tide), and around which a tidal crest circulates once per tidal period (approximately every 12 hours). Tidal amplitude increases, though not ...
[3] neck 1. A narrow stretch of land with water on each side, e.g. an isthmus or promontory. [4] 2. A narrow stretch of woodland or of ice. [4] 3. A high level pass, especially the narrowest part. [4] nehrung A long sandspit separating a haff or lagoon from the sea, especially one along the south coast of the Baltic Sea. [4] neighborhood
The cell had a lipid bilayer; it possessed the genetic code and ribosomes which translated from DNA or RNA to proteins. The LUCA probably existed at latest 3.6 billion years ago, and possibly as early as 4.3 billion years ago [2] or earlier. The nature of this point or stage of divergence remains a topic of research.
