Blank + (In [[fluorometry]] and [[transmission spectrophotometry]] '''blank''' [[cuvettes]] (with no samples in them) are used to carry out the [[balance]].)
White balance + (In [[reflectance spectrophotometry]] … In [[reflectance spectrophotometry]] and [[remission spectrophotometry]] a white balance is carried out to determine the intensity of the incident light (''I''''0'') for the purpose of quantitative [[absorbance]] measurements. In [[reflectance spectrophotometry]], a mirror can be used whereas in [[remission spectrophotometry]] a standard white tile is more appropriate.[[remission spectrophotometry]] a standard white tile is more appropriate.)
Discontinuous system + (In a '''discontinuous system''', gradients … In a '''discontinuous system''', gradients in [[continuous system]]s across the length, ''l'', of the diffusion path [m], are replaced by differences across compartmental boundaries of zero thickness, and the local concentration is replaced by the free activity, ''α'' [mol·dm-3]. The length of the diffusion path may not be constant along all diffusion pathways, spacial direction varies (''e.g.'', in a spherical particle surrounded by a semipermeable membrane), and information on the diffusion paths may even be not known in a discontinuous system. In this case (''e.g.'', in most treatments of the [[protonmotive force]]) the diffusion path is moved from the (ergodynamic) isomorphic [[force]] term to the (kinetic) [[mobility]] term. The synonym of a discontinuous system is '''compartmental''' or discretized system. In the first part of the definition of discontinuous systems, three compartments are considered: (1) the source compartment A, (2) the sink compartment B, and (3) the internal barrier compartment with thickness ''l''. In a two-compartmental description, a system boundary is defined of zero thickness, such that the barrier comparment (''e.g.'', a semipermeable membrane) is either part of the system (internal) or part of the environment (external). Similarly, the intermediary steps in a chemical reaction may be explicitely considered in an ergodnamic multi-comparment system; alternatively, the kinetic analysis of all intermediary steps may be collectively considered in the catalytic reaction ''mobility'', reducing the measurement to a two-compartmental analysis of the substrate and product compartments.al analysis of the substrate and product compartments.)
Flow + (In an isomorphic analysis, any form of ''' … In an isomorphic analysis, any form of '''flow''', ''I'' is the [[advancement]] of a process per unit of time, expressed in a specific motive unit [MU∙s-1], ''e.g.'', ampere for electric flow or current [A≡C∙s-1], watt for heat flow [W≡J∙s-1], and for chemical flow the unit is [mol∙s-1]. Flow is an [[extensive quantity]]. The corresponding isomorphic [[force]]s are the partial exergy (Gibbs energy) changes per advancement [J∙MU-1], expressed in volt for electric force [V≡J∙C-1], dimensionless for thermal force, and for chemical force the unit is [J∙mol-1], which deserves a specific acronym ([Jol]) comparable to volt.for chemical force the unit is [J∙mol-1], which deserves a specific acronym ([Jol]) comparable to volt.)
Advancement + (In an isomorphic analysis, any form of [[flow]] … In an isomorphic analysis, any form of [[flow]] is the '''advancement''' of a process per unit of time, expressed in a specific [[motive unit]] [MU∙s-1], ''e.g.'', ampere for electric flow or current, ''I''el = del''ξ''/d''t'' [A≡C∙s-1], watt for thermal or heat flow, ''I''th = dth''ξ''/d''t'' [W≡J∙s-1], and for chemical flow of reaction, ''I''r = dr''ξ''/d''t'', the unit is [mol∙s-1] ('''extent of reaction''' per time). The corresponding motive [[force]]s are the partial exergy (Gibbs energy) changes per advancement [J∙MU-1], expressed in volt for electric force, Δel''F'' = ∂''G''/∂el''ξ'' [V≡J∙C-1], dimensionless for thermal force, Δth''F'' = ∂''G''/∂th''ξ'' [J∙J-1], and for chemical force, Δr''F'' = ∂''G''/∂r''ξ'', the unit is [J∙mol-1], which deserves a specific acronym [Jol] comparable to volt [V]. For chemical processes of reaction (spontaneous from high-potential substrates to low-potential products) and compartmental diffusion (spontaneous from a high-potential compartment to a low-potential compartment), the advancement is the amount of motive substance that has undergone a compartmental transformation [mol]. The concept was originally introduced by De Donder [1]. Central to the concept of advancement is the [[stoichiometric number]], ''ν''''i'', associated with each motive component ''i'' (transformant [2]).In a chemical reaction r the motive entity is the stoichiometric amount of reactant, dr''n''''i'', with stoichiometric number ''ν''''i''. The advancement of the chemical reaction, dr''ξ'' [mol], is defined as, dr''ξ'' = dr''n''''i''·''ν''''i''-1The flow of the chemical reaction, ''I''r [mol·s-1], is advancement per time, ''I''r = dr''ξ''·d''t''-1This concept of advancement is extended to compartmental diffusion and the advancement of charged particles [3], and to any discontinuous transformation in compartmental systems [2],:::: [[File:Advancement.png|100px]])
Abundance + (In chemistry or physics, '''abundance''' o … In chemistry or physics, '''abundance''' or '''natural abundance''' refers to the amount of a chemical element isotope existing in nature. The abundance of an isotope on the Earth may vary depending on the place, but remains relatively constant in time (on a short-term scale). In a chemical reaction, the reactant is in abundance when the quantity of a substance is enough (or high) and constant during the reaction. '''Relative abundance''' represents the percentage of the total amount of all isotopes of the element. The relative abundance of each isotope in a sample can be identified using mass spectrometry.can be identified using mass spectrometry.)
Pathway and coupling control states + (In mitochondrial respiratory physiology a … In mitochondrial respiratory physiology a large number of '''pathway and coupling control states''' is encountered, for which a unified system of terms and abbreviations is required. In [[mitochondrial preparations]] there is a large number of potentially complex [[pathway control state]]s, in contrast to only three [[coupling control state]]s (''L'', ''P'', ''E''). Therefore, it is practical to use ''L'', ''P'', and ''E'' as subscripts attached to the abbreviation of the pathway control state.abbreviation of the pathway control state.)

Quantities, symbols, and units + (In the context of '''quantities, symbols, … In the context of '''quantities, symbols, and units''', a code is required to convert terms defining physicochemical quantities into symbols (encoding) and to decode symbols as used in equations, text, and figures. Then symbols and abbreviations gain meaning. Simple symbols — such as ''Q'' or ''N'' — are used with different meanings depending on context (think of ''Q'' for heat and ''Q'' for electric charge; or ''N'' for number of cells and ''N'' for number of O2 molecules). The context provides the code. When the context is extended, the symbols have to be expanded too, including more detail to avoid confusion (''Q''th versus ''Q''el; ''N''ce versus ''N''O2). Then symbols may appear too complicated, loosing the function of sending their message quickly. There is no single best way to design the right symbol or to replace meaningful symbols (''Q''el) by ambiguous abbreviations (''Q'') — all depends on context. We need to use the adequate medium (words, symbols, and abbreviations; equations, text, and figures; videos and slide presentations) and provide the code to achieve communication. The medium is the message, the message is the meaning — from [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Medium_Is_the_Massage Marshall McLuhan] to [[Hofstadter 1979 Harvester Press |Hofstadter]].dter 1979 Harvester Press |Hofstadter]].)

Electron transfer pathway + (In the mitochondrial '''electron transfer … In the mitochondrial '''electron transfer pathway''' (ET pathway) electrons are transferred from externally supplied reduced fuel substrates to oxygen. Based on this experimentally oriented definition (see [[ET capacity]]), the ET pathway consists of (1) the [[membrane-bound ET pathway]] with respiratory complexes located in the inner mt-membrane, (2) [[TCA cycle]] and other mt-matrix dehydrogenases generating NADH and succinate, and (3) the carriers involved in metabolite transport across the mt-membranes.» [[#Electron transfer pathway versus electron transport chain |'''MiPNet article''']][#Electron transfer pathway versus electron transport chain |'''MiPNet article''']])

Intensive quantity + (Intensive quantities are partial derivativ … Intensive quantities are partial derivatives of an extensive quantity by the advancement, dtr''ξ''''X'', of an energy transformation tr; ''example:'' [[Force]]. In contrast to [[extensive quantity |extensive quantities]] which pertain to the entire system and are additive, extensive quantities 'take well defined values at each point of the system' ([[Prigogine 1967 Interscience]]) and are non-additive. Intensive and extensive quantities can be easily discriminated by the units, e.g. [J] for the extensive quantity, in contrast to [J·mol-1] for the corresponding intensive quantity. In the general definition of thermodynamics, intensive quantities are not distinguished from [[specific quantity |specific quantities]] ([[Cohen 2008 IUPAC Green Book]]). [[Ergodynamics]] emphasizes the contrast between specific quantities which are extensive quantities normalized for a variable expressing system size (mass, volume of the system, amount of substance in a system) and intensive quantities which are normalized for the motive unit of a transformation (mass exchanged, volume change of the system, amount of substance reacting in a system; [[Gnaiger 1993 Pure Appl Chem]]). Intensive and specific quantities are both non-additive, take well defined values at each point of the system, and both corresponding quantities are expressed in identical units, e.g. the intensive quantity Gibbs force of a catabolic reaction (such as oxidation; 0 = -1 Glc - 6 O2 + 6 CO2 + 6 H2O), Δk''G''Glc [kJ·mol-1], and the specific quantity Gibbs energy per mole glucose contained in a system, ''G''Glc [kJ·mol-1] (with respect to an arbitrarily defined reference state, such as the reference state of formation or combustion).Glc [kJ·mol-1] (with respect to an arbitrarily defined reference state, such as the reference state of formation or combustion).)

Metabolic control analysis + (Metabolic control analysis is a science fo … Metabolic control analysis is a science focused on the understanding of metabolic regulation and control. In metabolism, the reductionist approach has allowed us to know which enzymes, metabolites and genes are involved in a metabolic pathway but this is not enough to understand how it is controlled, resulting in poor results from attempts to increase the rates of selected metabolic pathways. The control of the metabolism is the capacity to alter the metabolic state in response to an external signal. With this definition in mind, we will assess the metabolic control in terms of the strength of any of the responses to the external factor without making the assumption about the function or purpose of that response[1].====Bibliography:====::1.

Scattering + (Most biological samples do not consist sim … Most biological samples do not consist simply of pigments but also particles (e.g. cells, fibres, mitochondria) which scatter the [[incident light]]. The effect of '''scattering''' is an apparent increase in [[absorbance]] due to an increase in pathlength and the loss of light scattered in directions other than that of the detector. Two types of scattering are encountered. For incident light of wavelength ''λ'', Rayleigh scattering is due to particles of diameter < ''λ'' (molecules, sub-cellular particles). The intensity of scatter light is proportional to ''λ''4 and is predominantly backward scattering. Mie scattering is caused by particles of diameter of the order of or greater than ''λ'' (tissue cells). The intensity of scatter light is proportional to 1/''λ'' and is predominantly forward scattering.ional to 1/''λ'' and is predominantly forward scattering.)
Volume of the solute + (Most of the chemicals for SUIT protocol ti … Most of the chemicals for SUIT protocol titrations are prepared by weighing the substance on the balance, transferring to a volumetric glass flask and adding solvent until the intended volume is reached. However, for practical reasons some of the chemical compounds are prepared by just adding the solvent instead of adjusting it's volume. For example, this approach is useful if the substance is very toxic. Then an arbitratry amount is taken, its mass determined on the balance without trying to reach a specific value and the necessary amount of solvent is added. Adding the solvent instead of adjusting its volume is also useful if small amounts are needed (e.g. 1 mL) or if the compound has to be prepared directly before using it like Pyruvate. In these cases the volume contributed by the solute was tested.lume contributed by the solute was tested.)

However, the solvent (carrier) itself could affect the mitochondrial physiology and promote alterations that we need to take into account. For this reason, it is necessary to run in parallel to our treatment experiment a control experiment on which we will add a '''carrier control titration''' to test if it affects our sample or not.' to test if it affects our sample or not.)

Nigericin + (Nigericin is a H+/K … Nigericin is a H+/K+ antiporter, which allows the electroneutral transport of these two ions in opposite directions across the mitochondrial inner membrane following the K+ concentration gradient. In the presence of K+, nigericin decreases pH in the mitchondrial matrix, thus, almost fully collapses the transmembrane ΔpH, which leads to the compensatory increase of the electric [[Mitochondrial membrane potential|mt-membrane potential]]. Therefore, it is ideal to use to dissect the two components of the [[Protonmotive force|protonmotive force]], ΔpH and [[Mitochondrial membrane potential|mt-membrane potential]]. It is recommended to use the lowest possible concentration of nigericin, which creates a maximal mitochondrial hyperpolarization. In the study of [[Komlodi 2018 J Bioenerg Biomembr]], 20 nM was applied on brain mitochondria isolated from guinea-pigs using 5 mM [[Succinate|succinate]] in the [[LEAK respiration|LEAK state]] which caused maximum hyperpolarisation, but did not fully dissipate the transmembrane ΔpH. Other groups (Selivanov et al 2008; Lambert et al 2004), however, used 100 nM nigericin, which in their hands fully collapsed transmembrane ΔpH using succinate as a respiratory substrate on isolated rat brain and skeletal muscle in the [[LEAK respiration|LEAK state]].AK respiration|LEAK state]].)

Reverse electron flow from CII to CI + (Reverse electron flow from CII to CI stimu … Reverse electron flow from CII to CI stimulates production of [[ROS]] when mitochondria are incubated with succinate without rotenone in the LEAK state at a high [[mt-membrane potential]]. Depolarisation of the mt-membrane potential (''e.g.'' after ADP addition to stimulate OXPHOS) leads to inhibition of RET and therefore, decrease of RET-initiated ROS production. RET can be also measured when mitochondria are respiring using [[Glycerophosphate |Gp]] without rotenone in the [[LEAK respiration|LEAK]] state. Addition of IQ-side inhibitors (ubiquinone-binding side of CI) of [[Complex I |CI]] usually block RET. The following SUIT protocols allow you to measure RET-initiated H2O2 flux in [[mitochondrial preparations]]: [[SUIT-009]] and [[SUIT-026]].[[SUIT-026]].)

Bioblasts + (Richard Altmann (1894) defined the 'elemen … Richard Altmann (1894) defined the 'elementary organisms' as '''Bioblasts'''. He observed granula in cells stained with osmium and viewed ‘the protoplasm as a colony of bioblasts’. "Microorganisms and granula are at an equivalent level and represent elementary organisms, which are found wherever living forces are acting, thus we want to describe them by the common term bioblasts. In the bioblast, that morphological unit of living matter appears to be found." [[Altmann 1894 Verlag Von Veit & Comp|Altmann 1894]]; p. 141. Altmann is thus considered as the discoverer of [[mitochondria]] (the granula), which constitute together with the microorganisms the ''bioblasts'' (the elementary organisms).
