| carbacrylamine resins | A mixture of the cation-exchange resin's, carbacrylic resin and potassium carbacrylic resin (87.5%) and of the anion-exchange resin, polyamine-methylene resin (12.5%), used to increase the faecal excretion of sodium in oedema associated with excessive sodium retention by the kidneys, e.g., in congestive heart failure, cirrhosis of the liver, and nephrosis.

| cation exchange resins | High molecular weight insoluble polymers which contain functional cationic groups that are capable of undergoing exchange reactions; used in various types of chromatography; also to treat hyperkalaemia. (12 Dec 1998) |
| resins | Flammable, amorphous, vegetable products of secretion or disintegration, usually formed in special cavities of plants. They are generally insoluble in water and soluble in alcohol, carbon tetrachloride, ether, or volatile oils. They are fusible and have a conchoidal fracture. They are the oxidation or polymerization products of the terpenes, and are mixtures of aromatic acids and esters. most are soft and sticky, but harden after exposure to cold. (12 Dec 1998) |
| resins, synthetic | Polymers of high molecular weight which at some stage are capable of being molded and then harden to form useful components. (12 Dec 1998) |
| composite resins | Synthetic resins, usually acrylic based, to which a high percentage (usually about 75% to 80%) of an inert filler has been added. Glass beads or rods, borosilicate glass powder, and natural silica are the most commonly used fillers. Filler particles are coated with a coupling agent that binds the particles to the resin matrix. They are used chiefly in dental restorative procedures. (12 Dec 1998) |
| ion exchange resins | <chemistry> High molecular weight, insoluble polymers which contain functional groups that are capable of undergoing exchange reactions (ion exchange) with either cations or anions. See: ion exchange, ion exchanger. (12 Dec 1998) |
| epoxy resins | Thermosetting resins based on the reactivity of the epoxide group, which is characterised by toughness, adhesibility, chemical resistance, dielectric properties, and dimensional stability. Several modified types are used as denture base material. (12 Dec 1998) |
| air plant | <botany> A plant deriving its sustenance from the air alone; an aerophyte. The "Florida moss" (Tillandsia), many tropical orchids, and most mosses and lichens are air plants. Those which are lodged upon trees, but not parasitic on them, are epiphytes. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| aquatic plant | <botany> Plants that must grow in water whether rooted in the mud or floating without anchorage, plants that must complete part or all of their life cycle in or near the water. (09 Oct 1997) |
| C3 plant | <plant biology> Plants that fix carbon dioxide in photosynthesis by the Calvin Benson cycle. The enzyme responsible for carbon dioxide fixation is RuDP carboxylase, whose products are compounds containing three carbon atoms. C3 plants are typical of temperate climates. Photorespiration in these plants is high. (07 Nov 1997) |
| C4 plant | <plant biology> Plants found principally in hot climates whose initial fixation of carbon dioxide in photosynthesis is by the HSK pathway. The enzyme responsible is PEP carboxylase, whose products contain four carbon atoms. Subsequently the carbon dioxide is released and re fixed by the Calvin Benson cycle. The presence of the HSK pathway permits efficient photosynthesis at high light intensities and low carbon dioxide concentrations. most species of this type have little or no photorespiration. (21 Mar 1998) |
| vascular plant | A plant which possesses a well-developed system of conducting tissue to transport water, mineral salts and sugars. (09 Oct 1997) |
| gene expression regulation, plant | Any of the processes by which nuclear, cytoplasmic, or intercellular factors influence the differential control of gene action in plants. (12 Dec 1998) |
| genes, plant | The hereditary material of plants. (12 Dec 1998) |
| genes, structural, plant | DNA sequences that code for RNA and for the proteins required for the enzymatic and structural function of plant cells. (12 Dec 1998) |
