  2. Vocative case - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vocative_case

    The principal marker is the vocative particle a, which causes lenition of the following initial letter. In the singular there is no special form, except for first declension nouns. These are masculine nouns that end in a broad (non-palatal) consonant, which is made slender (palatal) to build the singular vocative (as well as the singular ...

  3. HESI exam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hesi_exam

    The HESI Admission Assessment (A 2) is a standardized, computer-based admission test used by some nursing and allied health programs. [3] The exam is 285 minutes (4 hours and 45 minutes) and consists of 275 scored questions. There are eight topics covered in separate subtests: grammar, reading comprehension, vocabulary and general knowledge ...

  4. Extracellular vesicle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extracellular_vesicle

    Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are lipid bilayer-delimited particles that are naturally released from almost all types of cells but, unlike a cell, cannot replicate. EVs range in diameter from near the size of the smallest physically possible unilamellar liposome (around 20-30 nanometers) to as large as 10 microns or more, although the vast majority of EVs are smaller than 200 nm.

  5. Granule (cell biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granule_(cell_biology)

    In cell biology, a granule is a small particle barely visible by light microscopy. The term is most often used to describe a secretory vesicle containing important components of cell physiology. [1] Examples of granules include granulocytes, platelet granules, insulin granules, germane granules, starch granules, and stress granules.

  6. Signal recognition particle receptor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_recognition...

    The signal recognition particle (SRP) is a multimeric protein, which along with its conjugate receptor (SR), is involved in targeting secretory proteins to the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) membrane in eukaryotes, or to the plasma membrane in prokaryotes.

  7. Agglutination (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agglutination_(biology)

    This image explains agglutination in the blood. Agglutination is the clumping of particles. The word agglutination comes from the Latin agglutinare (glueing to).. Agglutination is a reaction in which particles (as red blood cells or bacteria) suspended in a liquid collect into clumps usually as a response to a specific antibody.

  8. Gene transfer agent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gene_transfer_agent

    Many bacterial genomes contain one or more defective prophages that have undergone more-or less-extensive mutation and deletion. Gene transfer agents, like defective prophages, arise by mutation of prophages, but they retain functional genes for the head and tail components of the phage particle (structural genes) and the genes for DNA packaging.

  9. Vesicle (biology and chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vesicle_(biology_and...

    In cell biology, a vesicle is a structure within or outside a cell, consisting of liquid or cytoplasm enclosed by a lipid bilayer. Vesicles form naturally during the processes of secretion ( exocytosis ), uptake ( endocytosis ), and the transport of materials within the plasma membrane .
