  2. Myosin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myosin

    Myosin X is an unconventional myosin motor, which is functional as a dimer. The dimerization of myosin X is thought to be antiparallel. [53] This behavior has not been observed in other myosins. In mammalian cells, the motor is found to localize to filopodia. Myosin X walks towards the barbed ends of filaments.

  3. Bulk carrier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulk_carrier

    The term "dry bulk carrier" is used to distinguish bulk carriers from bulk liquid carriers such as oil, chemical, or liquefied petroleum gas carriers. Very small bulk carriers are almost indistinguishable from general cargo ships, and they are often classified based more on the ship's use than its design.

  4. List of bulk carriers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_bulk_carriers

    This is a list of bulk carriers, both those in service and those which have ceased to operate. Bulk carriers are a type of cargo ship that transports unpackaged bulk cargo . For ships that have sailed under multiple names, their most recent name is used and former names are listed in the Notes section.

  5. Myosin head - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myosin_head

    The myosin head is the part of the thick myofilament made up of myosin that acts in muscle contraction, by sliding over thin myofilaments of actin.Myosin is the major component of the thick filaments and most myosin molecules are composed of a head, neck, and tail domain; the myosin head binds to thin filamentous actin, and uses ATP hydrolysis to generate force and "walk" along the thin filament.

  6. Bulk cargo - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulk_cargo

    Bulk cargo refers to material in either liquid or granular, particulate (as a mass of relatively small solids) form, such as petroleum/crude oil, grain, coal, or gravel. This cargo is usually dropped or poured, with a spout or shovel bucket, into a bulk carrier ship's hold , railroad car / railway wagon , or tanker truck / trailer / semi ...

    Food-grade tank - a standard tank container which can only be loaded with foodgrade products; Reefer tank - a tank with the ability to cool ("refigerate") the product to be transported; Gas tank - a tank that is suitable for the transport of gases; Silo tank - a tank for the transport of grains and powders; T1 ISO tank container (for wine and ...

  8. Bulk movement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulk_movement

    In cell biology, bulk flow is the process by which proteins with a sorting signal [definition needed] travel to and from different cellular compartments. In other words, bulk transport is a type of transport which involves the transport of large amount of substance like lipid droplets and solid food particles across plasma membrane by utilising energy.

  9. Food contact materials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_contact_materials

    Food contact material pictogram (left) on a plastic food container in Hong Kong. Food contact materials or food contacting substances (FCS) [1] [2] are materials that are intended to be in contact with food. These can be things that are quite obvious like a glass or a can for soft drinks as well as machinery in a food factory or a coffee machine.
