| subcellular | 1. Lacking cellular organization, as applied to viruses, which can only replicate within a cell, whether prokaryotic or eukaryotic. Synonym: subcellular. Synonym: acellular. (05 Mar 2000) |
| subcellular fractions | Components of a cell produced by various separation techniques which, though they disrupt the delicate anatomy of a cell, preserve the structure and physiology of its functioning constituents for biochemical and ultrastructural analysis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| progress | 1. A moving or going forward; a proceeding onward; an advance; specifically: In actual space, as the progress of a ship, carriage, etc. In the growth of an animal or plant; increase. In business of any kind; as, the progress of a negotiation; the progress of art. In knowledge; in proficiency; as, the progress of a child at school. Toward ideal completeness or perfection in respect of quality or condition; applied to individuals, communities, or the race; as, social, moral, religious, or political progress. 2. A journey of state; a circuit; especially, one made by a sovereign through parts of his own dominions. "The king being returned from his progresse." (Evelyn) Origin: L. Progressus, from progredi, p. P. Progressus, to go forth or forward; pro forward + gradi to step, go: cf. F. Progres. See Grade. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
