| gene dosage effect | In codominant alleles, the more or less linear relationship between the phenotypic value and the number of genes of one type substituted by another type. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| generation effect | Variation in health status arising from the different causal factors of disease to which each successive generation born is exposed as it passes through life. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rebound effect | The characteristic of a drug to produce reverse effects when either the effect of the drug has passed or when the patient no longer responds to the drug. (18 Nov 1997) |
| Venturi effect | Term applied to the operation of a Venturi tube and similar systems. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mass effect | <neurology> Damage to the brain due the bulk of a tumour, the blockage of fluid or excess accumulation of fluid within the skull. (16 Dec 1997) |
| red drop effect | Experimental observation that the photosynthetic efficiency of monochromatic light is greatly reduced above 680 nm, even though chlorophyll absorbs well up to 700 nm. Led to the discovery of the two light reactions of photosynthesis. See: photosystems I and II. (18 Nov 1997) |
| gibbs-donnan effect | The observation that charged molecules starting on one side of a semipermeable membrane sometimes will not evenly distribute themselves by diffusion on both sides of the membrane. This effect is probably because there are other charged substances already present which cannot move through the membrane themselves and which are creating an electric field that influences the movement of the incoming charged molecules. (09 Oct 1997) |
| maternal effect gene | Gene, usually required for early embryonic development, whose product is secreted into the egg by the mother. The phenotype is thus determined by the mother's, rather than the egg's, genotype. Compare:. Zygotic effect gene. See: egg polarity gene. (18 Nov 1997) |
| Pasteur effect | <biochemistry> Decrease in the rate of carbohydrate breakdown that occurs in yeast and other cells when switched from anaerobic to aerobic conditions. Results from a relatively slow flux of material through the biochemical pathways of respiration compared with those of fermentation. (18 Nov 1997) |
| Pasteur's effect | The inhibition of fermentation by oxygen, first observed by Pasteur; either not observed, or only slightly observed, in malignant tumours. Compare: Crabtree effect. (05 Mar 2000) |
| glucose effect | <biochemistry> The ability of the sugar glucose to block sugar metabolism by keeping the genes which make the enzymes involved in the early steps of sugar metabolism from making those enzymes. (09 Oct 1997) |
| Rivero-Carvallo effect | Inspiratory increase in the systolic murmur of tricuspid insufficiency; the characteristic distinguishing tricuspid insufficiency from mitral insufficiency. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Circe effect | An effect observed in enzyme catalysis in which accelerated diffusion of the substrate occurs through attractive forces of the enzyme's active site. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Russell effect | The ability of an agent, other than light, to make a developable latent image in a photographic film emulsion. Synonym: Russell effect. (05 Mar 2000) |
| clasp-knife effect | Initial increased resistance to stretch of the extensor muscles of a joint that give way rather suddenly allowing the joint then to be easily flexed; the rigidity is due to an exaggeration of the stretch reflex. See: lengthening reaction. Synonym: clasp-knife effect, clasp-knife rigidity. (05 Mar 2000) |
| greenhouse effect |
An increase in the earth's temperature resulting from the accumulation of carbon dioxide and water vapor in the atmosphere. Excess amounts of these gases trap heat in the upper atmosphere and reflect it back to earth. See Also Greenhouse Gas, See Also Global Warming,

| greenhouse effect |
Heating of the Earth's atmosphere that is loosely analogous to the glass of a greenhouse letting light in but not letting heat out. Radiation from the sun easily enters the atmosphere as light waves, heating the Earth's surface and causing it to emit infrared radiation. Gases such as water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, and chlorofluorocarbons absorb infrared radiation, preventing its energy from leaving the Earth.

| greenhouse effect |
The heating effect caused by gases in the atmosphere absorbing heat (solar radiation) instead of letting it escape back into space. There are 2 types: Natural - It is what keeps the Earth's average temperature at 59

| greenhouse effect |
atmospheric heating caused by solar radiation being readily transmitted inward through the earth's atmosphere but longwave radiation less readily transmitted outward, due to absorption by certain gases in the atmosphere.

| greenhouse effect |
the process that raises the temperature of air in the lower atmosphere due to heat trapped by greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, chlorofluorocarbons, and ozone.
