Isotonic


Definition:

  • (a.) Having or indicating, equal tones, or tension.

Example Sentences:

  • (20) Measurements were made on locomotor performance (burst run and swim speed, run and swim endurance), morphology (body, tail, and hindlimb length, body mass), and skeletal muscle mechanics (isometric: twitch and tetanic tension, rates of force development and relaxation; isotonic: maximal velocity of shortening and power output) in a size range of individual salamanders (Ambystoma tigrinum nebulosum) at 10 and 20 degrees C. The size dependence of each factor was determined, and the interindividual correlations among factors were measured after removal of size effects.

Solute


Definition:

  • (a.) Loose; free; liberal; as, a solute interpretation.
  • (a.) Relaxed; hence; merry; cheerful.
  • (a.) Soluble; as, a solute salt.

  • (v. t.) To dissolve; to resolve.
  • (v. t.) To absolve; as, to solute sin.
