Ironic

Redundant


Definition:

  • (a.) Using more worrds or images than are necessary or useful; pleonastic.
  • (a.) Exceeding what is natural or necessary; superabundant; exuberant; as, a redundant quantity of bile or food.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Hexokinase, phoshofructokinase, and aldolase appear to be rate-limiting in normal cervix epithelium; however, since the increase in activity of the first two in cancers was least of all the glycolytic enzymes, redundant enzyme synthesis probably occurs in the malignant cell for the enzymes catalysing reversible reactions.
  • (2) Fifty-one severely retarded adults were taught a difficult visual discrimination in an assembly task by one of three training techniques: (a) adding and reducing large cue differences on the relevant-shape dimension; (b) adding and fading a redundant-color dimension; or (c) a combination of the two techniques.
