| carbon dioxide cycle | First, an organism which can photosynthesise (such as a plant or some bacteria) will absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air and incorporate it into its body or turn it into organic matter. Then, other organisms which cannot photosynthesise will eat the organic matter, or the photosynthesising organism, and release carbon dioxide gas as a waste product back into the air. (09 Oct 1997) |

| carbon dioxide electrode | A glass electrode in a film of bicarbonate solution covered by a thin plastic membrane permeable to carbon dioxide but impermeable to water and electrolytes; the carbon dioxide pressure of a gas or liquid sample quickly equilibrates through the membrane and is measured in terms of the resulting pH of the bicarbonate solution, as sensed by the glass electrode; commonly used to analyze arterial blood samples. Synonym: Severinghaus electrode. (05 Mar 2000) |
| carbon dioxide elimination | The rate at which carbon dioxide enters the alveolar gas from the blood, equal in the steady state to the metabolic production of carbon dioxide by tissue metabolism throughout the body; units: ml/min STPD or mmol/min. (05 Mar 2000) |
| carbon dioxide-free water | Purified water that has been boiled vigorously for 5 minutes or more. (05 Mar 2000) |
| carbon dioxide reductase | <enzyme> Co is oxidised to co2; carbon dioxide may be reduced to formate; co dehydrogenase contains a (ni/fe-s) enzyme and a (corrinoid/fe-s) enzyme component; has co-beta-methylcobamide/tetrahydropteridine methyltransferase and acetyl-CoA synthase activities Registry number: EC 1.2.99.2 Synonym: co2 reductase, ferredoxin-co2 oxidoreductase, carbon monoxide dehydrogenase, co dehydrogenase, formate dehydrogenase, ferredoxin-dependent, acetyl-CoA decarbonylase synthase complex, acds complex, molybdenum co dehydrogenase (26 Jun 1999) |
| carbon dioxide snow | Solid carbon dioxide used in the treatment of warts, lupus, nevi, and other skin affections, and as a refrigerant. Synonym: dry ice. (05 Mar 2000) |
| colloidal silicon dioxide | A submicroscopic fumed silica prepared by the vapor-phase hydrolysis of a silicon compound; used as a tablet diluent and as a suspending and thickening agent. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hydrogen dioxide | <chemical> Hydrogen peroxide is produced by vertebrate phagocytes and is used in bacterial killing (the myeloperoxidase halide system). (05 May 1997) |
| silicon dioxide | <chemical> Silica. Transparent, tasteless crystals found in nature as agate, amethyst, chalcedony, cristobalite, flint, sand, quartz, and tridymite. The compound is insoluble in water or acids except hydrofluoric acid. Chemical name: Silica (12 Dec 1998) |
| nitrogen dioxide | <chemical> Nitrogen oxide (no2). A highly poisonous gas. Exposure produces inflammation of lungs that may only cause slight pain or pass unnoticed, but resulting oedema several days later may cause death. It is a major atmospheric pollutant that is able to absorb uv light that does not reach the earth's surface. Pharmacological action: oxidants, photochemical, poisons. Chemical name: Nitrogen oxide (NO2) (12 Dec 1998) |
| sulfur dioxide | <chemical> A highly toxic, colourless, nonflammable gas. It is used as a pharmaceutical aid and antioxidant. It is also an environmental air pollutant. Pharmacological action: air pollutants, environmental, antioxidants, pharmaceutic aid. Chemical name: Sulfur dioxide (12 Dec 1998) |
| dioxide | <chemistry> An oxide containing two atoms of oxygen in each molecule; binoxide. An oxide containing but one atom or equivalent of oxygen to two of a metal; a suboxide. Carbon dioxide. See Carbonic acid, under Carbonic. Origin: Pref. Di- + oxide. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| thorium dioxide | <chemical> Thorium oxide (tho2). A radiographic contrast agent that was used in the early 1930s through about 1954. High rates of mortality have been linked to its use and it has been shown to cause liver cancer. Pharmacological action: carcinogens. Chemical name: Thorium oxide (ThO2) (12 Dec 1998) |
| 1,4-diethylene dioxide | 1,4-dioxane;a colourless liquid used as a solvent for cellulose esters and in histology as a drying agent. Synonym: 1,4-diethylene dioxide. (05 Mar 2000) |
