Putrefaction is the process of decay or rotting in a body, primarily due to bacterial action.

Laminar flow is characterized by fluid moving in parallel layers with minimal disruption between them.

Bioavailability refers to the fraction of an administered dose of unchanged drug that reaches the systemic circulation.

Vmax is the maximum rate of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction when the enzyme is saturated with substrate.

Transduction is the process by which bacteriophages transfer genetic material between bacteria.

Gastrulation is the process that forms the three germ layers: ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm.

Transgenesis is the process of introducing foreign DNA into an animal's genome to create genetically modified organisms.

Tissue culture is the process of growing plant cells in a controlled environment.

The variable region of an antibody is responsible for binding to specific antigens.

The active site is the region on the enzyme where the substrate binds and the reaction occurs.

The specific region on an antigen that is recognized by an antibody is called an epitope.

The active site is the specific region on an enzyme where the substrate binds and the reaction occurs.

Lichen is the term for the symbiotic relationship between algae and fungi.

The relationship between corals and zooxanthellae (a type of algae) is a mutualistic symbiosis, where both organisms benefit.

Conjugation is the transfer of genetic material through a pilus between bacteria.

The tertiary structure of a protein refers to the overall three-dimensional shape formed by the folding of a single polypeptide chain.

Statins are primarily used to lower cholesterol levels in patients with hyperlipidemia.

The threshold potential for initiating an action potential is typically around -55 mV.

The typical alcohol content of fermented beverages produced through ethanol fermentation ranges from 5-15%.

Yeast colonies typically appear smooth and creamy on agar plates.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa typically appears as green colonies on culture media and has a characteristic fruity odor.

DNA molecules have a negative charge due to their phosphate backbone, causing them to migrate towards the positive electrode.

Household vinegar typically contains 5-20% acetic acid.

Peptides typically consist of 2 to 50 amino acids, while proteins are generally larger.

The mobile phase in gas chromatography is typically a gas, often helium or nitrogen.

A standard PCR protocol typically involves 25-40 cycles to achieve sufficient amplification.

Actinomyces species are facultative anaerobes, meaning they can grow in both the presence and absence of oxygen.

The typical pH range for animal cell culture media is 6.5 to 7.5, which is optimal for cell growth and function.

The typical pressure range for HPLC systems is 100-5000 psi, which is necessary for efficient separation.

Protons in organic compounds typically exhibit chemical shifts in the range of 0-12 ppm.
