Definition: A large cell that contains multiple nuclei and is surrounded by a single cell wall, often found in certain fungi, algae, and slime molds.

Example: The coenocyte in the slime mold allowed for efficient nutrient sharing among its many nuclei.

Definition: Describing a type of cell that is multinucleate and formed by the fusion of multiple cells, often found in certain fungi and algae.

Example: The coenocytic structure of the algae allows for efficient nutrient transport.

Definition: A type of organic substance that works with a specific protein to help enzymes function properly, often containing vitamins or minerals.

Example: Vitamins often act as coenzymes in various biochemical reactions in the body.

Definition: A type of silica that forms under very high pressure, often found in meteorite impact sites.

Example: Scientists discovered coesite in the rocks near the meteorite impact site.

Definition: A substance that is necessary for an enzyme to work properly, often a metal ion or a coenzyme, or a factor that helps another factor to produce a specific effect.

Example: Zinc is an important cofactor for many enzymes in the body.

Definition: To cheat, particularly in games involving dice.

Example: He tried to cog during the game, but the other players caught him.

Definition: A small part of a machine that has teeth and works with other parts to help it move, or a person who has a minor role in a larger organization.

Example: The engineer replaced the broken cog in the machine to ensure it worked properly.

Definition: To manipulate or load something, especially dice, in a dishonest way.

Example: He tried to cog the dice during the game to win unfairly.

Definition: A device that produces both electricity and useful heat from the same energy source.

Example: The cogenerator at the facility provides both power and heating for the entire building.

Definition: A wheel that has teeth (cogs) around its edge, used in machines to transfer motion and force between different parts.

Example: The engineer replaced the broken cogwheel in the machine to ensure it worked properly again.

Definition: A device that detects radio waves, commonly used in early radio receivers, which improves its ability to conduct electricity when high-frequency current passes through it.

Example: The coherer was an essential component in the first radio communication systems.

Definition: To process a substance by boiling it and then returning the vapor back to the liquid.

Example: The chemist decided to cohobate the solution to purify it further.
