Other Similar Biology Terms:

Bio Term Ampicillin (Amp) is An antibiotic that inhibits crosslinking of peptidoglycan chains in the cell wall of eubacteria. Cells growing in the presence of ampicillin synthesize weak cell walls, causing them to burst due to the high internal osmotic pressure. Amp resistance encoded by most transposons and plasmids is due to a periplasmic Beta-lactamase that breaks the Beta-lactam ring of ampicillin. Ampicillin is a derivative of penicillin.

Bio Term pancreas (Frog, Rat) is A gland situated in the mesentery of the duodenum of jawed vertebrates that has both an exocrine and an endocrine function.

Bio Term Holoenzyme is A complex containing all of the subunits required for a functional enzyme. Used to describe enzymes composed of many different protein subunits. For example, RNA polymerase holoenzyme is composed of six subunits: 2 alpha subunits, beta, beta, omega, and sigma.

Bio Term mesoderm is The middle primary germ layer of an early embryo that develops into the notochord, the lining of the coelom, muscles, skeleton, gonads, kidneys, and most of the circulatory system.

Bio Term species is A group of organisms belong to the same biological species if they are capable of interbreeding to produce fertile offspring. However the biological test of a species is not always available, and so there is also a morphological species concept based on anatomical similarities.
