    The first two in the sequence are by far the most common; 'tertiary' appears occasionally, and higher numbers are rare except in specialized contexts ('quaternary period'). The Greek series proto- , deutero- , trito- , ... is only found in prefixes, generally scholarly and technical coinages, e.g. protagonist, deuteragonist, tritagonist ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Educational_stage

    Educational stages are subdivisions of formal learning, typically covering early childhood education, primary education, secondary education and tertiary education.The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization recognizes nine levels of education in its International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED) system (from Level 0 (pre-primary education) through Level 8 ...

  4. Nucleic acid structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleic_acid_structure

    Tertiary structure refers to the locations of the atoms in three-dimensional space, taking into consideration geometrical and steric constraints. It is a higher order than the secondary structure, in which large-scale folding in a linear polymer occurs and the entire chain is folded into a specific 3-dimensional shape.

  5. Nucleic acid sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleic_acid_sequence

    The nucleobases are important in base pairing of strands to form higher-level secondary and tertiary structures such as the famed double helix. The possible letters are A, C, G, and T, representing the four nucleotide bases of a DNA strand – adenine, cytosine, guanine, thymine – covalently linked to a phosphodiester backbone.

  6. Alkyl group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkyl_group

    When there are different alkyl groups, they are listed in alphabetical order. In addition, each position on an alkyl chain can be described according to how many other carbon atoms are attached to it. The terms primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary refer to a carbon attached to one, two, three, or four other carbons respectively.

  7. Bronchus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bronchus

    The first or primary bronchi to branch from the trachea at the carina are the right main bronchus and the left main bronchus. These are the widest bronchi, and enter the right lung, and the left lung at each hilum. The main bronchi branch into narrower secondary bronchi or lobar bronchi, and these branch into narrower tertiary bronchi or ...

    Secondary (inset) and tertiary structure of tRNA demonstrating coaxial stacking. [20] Coaxial stacking, otherwise known as helical stacking, is a major determinant of higher order RNA tertiary structure. Coaxial stacking occurs when two RNA duplexes form a contiguous helix, which is stabilized by base stacking at the interface of the two helices.

  9. Emotion classification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotion_classification

    Secondary dyad = two petals apart = Envy = Sadness + Anger Tertiary dyad = three petals apart = Shame = Fear + Disgust Opposite emotions = four petals apart = Anticipation ∉ Surprise. There are also triads, emotions formed from 3 primary emotions, though Plutchik never describes in any detail what the triads might be. [58]
