| galvanism | <physics> Electricity excited by the mutual action of certain liquids and metals; dynamical electricity. The branch of physical science which treats of dynamical elecricity, or the properties and effects of electrical currents. The words galvanism and galvanic, formerly in very general use, are now rarely employed. For the latter, voltaic, from the name of Volta, is commonly used. Origin: From Galvani: cf. F. Galvanisme. See Galvanic. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |

| galvanization | Application of direct current (galvanic) electricity, as in galvanizing (electroplating). (05 Mar 2000) |
| galvanize | 1. To affect with galvanism; to subject to the action of electrical currents. 2. To plate, as with gold, silver, etc, by means of electricity. 3. To restore to consciousness by galvanic action (as from a state of suspended animation); hence, to stimulate or excite to a factitious animation or activity. 4. To coat, as iron, with zinc. See Galvanised iron. Galvanised iron, formerly, iron coated with zink by electrical deposition; now more commonly, iron coated with zink by plunging into a bath of melted zink, after its surface has been cleaned by friction with the aid of dilute acid.

| gall |
A swollen part of a plant, because an insect larva (baby insect) is living inside it. Some species of wasps and flies inject their eggs into plant stems or leaves. The plant keeps growing, forming a ball-shaped gall around the egg. When the larva hatches, it eats its way out. Sometimes galls hurt the plant and sometimes they don't.

| gallium |
CAS Number: 7440-55-3. Gallium is the only metal, except for mercury, caesium, and rubidium, which can be liquid near room temperatures, which makes possible its use in high-temperature thermometers. Ultra-pure gallium has a beautiful, silvery appearance. Gallium compounds are also used to create semiconductors and microwave equipment. Chemical formula = Ga. Molecular weight = 69.72 g/mol.

| galactosemia |
Galactosemia is a disorder that affects how the body processes certain sugars (sugar metabolism). This condition results when the body is not able to process the sugar galactose, which is found in many foods. Galactose also exists as part of another sugar, lactose, found in all dairy products. Liver dysfunction, cataracts (clouding of the lens of the eye), speech problems, and mental impairment are characteristic of this condition if not treated.
