(20) Apparently, the irradiation with visible light of a low intensity creates an additional proton gradient and thus stimulates a new replication and division cycle in the population of cells whose membranes do not have delta pH necessary for the initiation of these processes.
Multicellular
Definition:
(a.) Consisting of, or having, many cells or more than one cell.
Example Sentences:
