What's the difference between anion and onion?

Anion


Definition:

  • (n.) An electro-negative element, or the element which, in electro-chemical decompositions, is evolved at the anode; -- opposed to cation.

  • (17) Proceeding from the observation that organic anions bound to albumin have hepatic extraction fractions that are unexpectedly high, we have studied a distributed model that accounts for this phenomenon by invoking sites on the cell surface that catalyze the dissociation of albumin-anion complexes.
  • (18) 6) The subunits alpha and beta of bovine follitropin were obtained by incubation in acidic urea, the chains being then separated by anion exchange chromatography.
  • (19) Here we report that phenol hydroxylation to hydroquinone is also catalyzed by human myeloperoxidase in the presence of a superoxide anion radical generating system, hypoxanthine and xanthine oxidase.
  • (20) The oxidation of the anion radical intermediate by O2 to the parent nitro compound is proposed to account for the well-known O2 inhibition of microsomal nitroreductase.

Onion


Definition:

  • (n.) A liliaceous plant of the genus Allium (A. cepa), having a strong-flavored bulb and long hollow leaves; also, its bulbous root, much used as an article of food. The name is often extended to other species of the genus.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) In earlier studies with the SV40-transformed hamster cell line Elona two different types of DNA amplification could be identified: (i) Bidirectional overreplication of chromosomally integrated SV40 DNA expanding into the flanking cellular sequences ("onion skin" type) and (ii) highly efficient synthesis of extremely large head-to-tail concatemers containing exclusively SV40 DNA ("rolling circle" type).
