Definition: Referring to a part of a chemical structure that is located outside of a ring or cycle.

Example: The compound contains an exocyclic double bond that affects its reactivity.

Definition: Relating to the process by which cells expel substances to the outside.

Example: The exocytic process is essential for neurotransmitter release in neurons.

Definition: A process in which substances inside small sacs in a cell are released to the outside of the cell by merging the sac's membrane with the cell's outer membrane.

Example: During exocytosis, the cell releases hormones into the bloodstream.

Definition: Relating to the process by which cells expel materials through vesicles that fuse with the cell membrane.

Example: The exocytotic process is essential for neurotransmitter release in nerve cells.

Definition: The outer layer of skin or the outermost layer of cells in a developing embryo.

Example: The exoderm plays a crucial role in protecting the body and forming various structures during development.

Definition: A type of enzyme that works outside the cell where it is produced, often involved in breaking down substances like food.

Example: The exoenzyme helps in digesting complex nutrients in the environment.

Definition: Describing a process that releases energy, usually in the form of heat, during a chemical reaction or physical change.

Example: The exoergic reaction produced a significant amount of heat, warming the surrounding environment.

Definition: A type of plant that has a specific structure with wood bark and pith, characterized by a growth pattern that adds new layers to the outside next to the bark.

Example: The exogen is known for its distinct wood structure and netted-veined leaves.

Definition: Relating to something that comes from outside an organism or system, rather than being produced internally.

Example: The researchers studied the exogenous factors that influence plant growth.

Definition: In a way that comes from outside a system or organism, rather than from within.

Example: The drug was administered exogenously to ensure it reached the bloodstream quickly.
