nucleated

IPA: /njuːˈkleɪtɪd/

KK: /ˈnjuːkliˌeɪtɪd/

adjective

Definition: Describing something that has a nucleus or multiple nuclei, often used in biological contexts to refer to cells or structures.

Example: The nucleated cells are essential for the development of complex organisms.

nucleating

IPA: /ˈnjuː.kli.eɪ.tɪŋ/

KK: /ˈnjuːklieɪtɪŋ/

adjective

Definition: Relating to the process of forming a nucleus or center around which something develops or grows.

Example: The nucleating agent helped the crystals to form more quickly.

verb

Definition: To form or cause to form a nucleus or center around which something develops or grows.

Example: The process of nucleating helps in the formation of crystals in the solution.

nucleation

IPA: /njuːˈkleɪʃən/

KK: /nukˈleɪʃən/

noun

Definition: The process of forming small clusters or nuclei that can lead to a larger structure or phase change.

Example: Nucleation is essential in the formation of clouds in the atmosphere.

nucleator

IPA: /ˈnjuː.kli.eɪ.tər/

KK: /ˈnjuːklieɪtər/

noun

Definition: A substance that helps to form or initiate the development of a new phase or structure, especially in processes like crystallization.

Example: The scientist added a nucleator to the solution to promote crystal growth.

nucleocapsid

IPA: /njuːˈkliːoʊˌkæpsɪd/

KK: /ˈnjuːklɪoʊˌkæpsɪd/

noun

Definition: The main part of a virus that includes its genetic material and is covered by a protein shell.

Example: The nucleocapsid protects the viral genetic material from degradation.

nucleoid

IPA: /ˈnjuː.kli.ɔɪd/

KK: /ˈnjuːkliˌɔɪd/

noun

Definition: The region in a prokaryotic cell, like a bacterium, where the genetic material (DNA) is located, similar to the nucleus in more complex cells.

Example: In bacteria, the nucleoid is where the DNA is stored and organized.

nucleolar

IPA: /njuːˈkliːələr/

KK: /nuk'le-ə-lər/

adjective

Definition: Relating to the nucleolus, which is a small structure within a cell's nucleus involved in producing ribosomes.

Example: The nucleolar activity increases during cell division.

nucleole

IPA: /ˈnjuːklioʊl/

KK: /ˈnjuːklioʊl/

noun

Definition: A small structure found within the nucleus of a cell, responsible for producing ribosomes.

Example: The nucleole plays a crucial role in the cell's ability to produce proteins.

nucleon

IPA: /ˈnjuːkliɒn/

KK: /ˈnjuːkliːɒn/

noun

Definition: A type of subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom, which can be either a proton or a neutron.

Example: In the nucleus of an atom, each nucleon contributes to the overall mass and stability of the atom.

nucleonic

IPA: /njuˈkliːɒnɪk/

KK: /nukˈliːɒnɪk/

adjective

Definition: Relating to the particles found in the nucleus of an atom, such as protons and neutrons.

Example: The nucleonic properties of the material were studied to understand its behavior under radiation.
