  2. Transport maximum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_maximum

    For both substances (as with all substances), the quantity excreted can be determined with the following equation: [citation needed] excretion = (filtration + secretion) - reabsorption; The proximal convoluted tubule of the nephron has protein channels that reabsorb glucose, and others that secrete para-aminohippuric acid (PAH). However, its ...

  3. Water content - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_content

    Saturated surface dry (SSD) is defined as the condition of an aggregate in which the surfaces of the particles are "dry" (i.e., they will neither absorb any of the mixing water added; nor will they contribute any of their contained water to the mix [11]), but the inter-particle voids are saturated with water.

  4. Oxygen–hemoglobin dissociation curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen–hemoglobin...

    Specifically, the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve relates oxygen saturation (SO 2) and partial pressure of oxygen in the blood (PO 2), and is determined by what is called "hemoglobin affinity for oxygen"; that is, how readily hemoglobin acquires and releases oxygen molecules into the fluid that surrounds it. Structure of oxyhemoglobin

  5. Saturated and unsaturated compounds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturated_and_unsaturated...

    arene (unsaturated) vs cycloalkane (saturated) For organic compounds containing heteroatoms (other than C and H), the list of unsaturated groups is long but some common types are: carbonyl, e.g. ketones, aldehydes, esters, carboxylic acids (unsaturated) vs alcohol or ether (saturated) nitrile (unsaturated) vs amine (saturated)

  6. Saturation (magnetic) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturation_(magnetic)

    Saturation is most clearly seen in the magnetization curve (also called BH curve or hysteresis curve) of a substance, as a bending to the right of the curve (see graph at right). As the H field increases, the B field approaches a maximum value asymptotically , the saturation level for the substance.

  7. Saturation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturation

    Saturation (magnetic), the state when a magnetic material is fully magnetized; Saturated fluid or saturated vapor, contains as much thermal energy as it can without boiling or condensing Saturated steam; Dew point, which is a temperature that occurs when atmospheric relative humidity reaches 100% and the air is saturated with moisture

  8. Boiling point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling_point

    A saturated liquid contains as much thermal energy as it can without boiling (or conversely a saturated vapor contains as little thermal energy as it can without condensing). Saturation temperature means boiling point. The saturation temperature is the temperature for a corresponding saturation pressure at which a liquid boils into its vapor phase.

  9. Solubility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solubility

    The solubility of a specific solute in a specific solvent is generally expressed as the concentration of a saturated solution of the two. [1] Any of the several ways of expressing concentration of solutions can be used, such as the mass, volume, or amount in moles of the solute for a specific mass, volume, or mole amount of the solvent or of the solution.
