| monosaccharide transport proteins | Membrane transport proteins which bind glucose and sodium ions and enter the cell together. The sodium ions are then pumped out of the cell by a sodium potassium atpase. The rate and extent of the sugar transport depends on the sodium ion concentration. Inhibitors of the monosaccharide transport system are phlorizin, cytochalasin b, and inhibitors of the sodium potassium atpase system. Insulin increases the rate of monosaccharide transport across the membrane into the cell. (12 Dec 1998) |

| monosaccharides | Simple sugars, carbohydrates which cannot be decomposed by hydrolysis. They are colourless crystalline substances with a sweet taste and have the same general formula cnh2non. (12 Dec 1998) |
| monoscelous | Having only one leg. Origin: mono-+ G. Skelos, leg (05 Mar 2000) |
| monoscenism | Morbid concentration on some past experience. Origin: mono-+ G. Skene, tent (stage drop) (05 Mar 2000) |
| monose | <biochemistry> A simple sugar that cannot be hydrolysed to smaller units. Empirical formula is (CH2O)n and range in size from trioses (n=3) to heptoses (n=7). (18 Nov 1997) |
| monosepalous | <botany> Having only one sepal, or the calyx in one piece or composed of the sepals united into one piece; gamosepalous. The most recent writers restrict this term to flowers having a solarity sepal, and use gamosepalous for a calyx formed by several sepals combined into one piece. Cf. Monopetalous. Origin: Mono- + sepal: cf. F. Monosepale. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| monosodium glutamate | <chemical> A commonly used flavour enhancer in food (common in Chinese food). Some people can develop a hypersensitivity to MSG. See: Chinese restaurant syndrome. (27 Sep 1997) |
| monosome | 1. <molecular biology> A single ribosome attached to a strand of mRNA. 2. <cell biology> A ribosome that has dissociated from a polysome. 3. Chromosome in an aneuploid set that does not have a homologue. (18 Nov 1997) |
| monosomia | In conjoined twins, a condition in which the trunks are completely merged although the heads remain separate. See: conjoined twins. Origin: mono-+ G. Soma, body (05 Mar 2000) |
| monosomic | Relating to monosomy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| monosomous | Characterised by or pertaining to monosomia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| monosomy | <genetics> Situation in a normally diploid cell or organism in which one or more of the homologous chromosome pairs is represented by only one chromosome of the pair. For example: sex determination in grasshoppers depends on the fact that females are XX and males XO, that is, males have only one sex chromosome and are monosomic for the X chromosome. (18 Nov 1997) |
| monosomy x | A rare genetic disorder (1 in 3,000 births) in women that is characterised by the absence of an X chromosome. This disorder inhibits normal sexual development and causes infertility. Features include webbing of the neck, short stature, retarded development of secondary sex characteristics, absence of menses, coarctation of the aorta, low hairline, eye abnormalities (drooping eyelids) and skeletal deformities. Treatment include oestrogen supplementation at puberty. Growth hormone replacement may be necessary in some cases. Cardiac surgery may be necessary to correct coarctation of the aorta. (27 Sep 1997) |
| monospasm | Spasm affecting only one muscle or group of muscles, or a single extremity. (05 Mar 2000) |
| monosperm | <botany> A monospermous plant. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| monosaccharide |
