What's the difference between ketmie and mucilage?
Ketmie
Definition:
(n.) The name of certain African species of Hibiscus, cultivated for the acid of their mucilage.
Example Sentences:
Mucilage
Definition:
(n.) A gummy or gelatinous substance produced in certain plants by the action of water on the cell wall, as in the seeds of quinces, of flax, etc.
(n.) An aqueous solution of gum, or of substances allied to it; as, medicinal mucilage; mucilage for fastening envelopes.
Example Sentences:
(1) The isolation of plant enzymes is frequently hampered by the presence of phenolic compounds, pigments and mucilages.
(2) The supernatant of soil suspension in water mainly contained isolated bacteria, while ultrathin sections of aggregates frequently revealed groups of bacteria surrounded by a sheath of mucilage with adhering clay minerals on the outside.
(3) The localization of the arabinogalactan-protein in the mucilage of the style canal was demonstrated cytochemically.
(4) In such preparations, mucilage was removed, internal structures were preserved, and pertinent characteristics of conidiogenous cells were resolved.
(5) Corn root tissues include cell walls composed of complex polysaccharides esterified with ferulic acid residues, as well as mucilages which are highly hydrated and expanded.
(6) Features of this process, the role of the Golgi and the pathway for mucilage distribution are reviewed.
(7) Dietary fiber is a highly interacting dietary component and is made up of a wide variety of enzyme-indigestible polymers: cellulose, pectins, gums, mucilages, lignin, and water-insoluble hemicelluloses.
(8) Comparative chemical analyses were made of the walls of vegetative cells, heterocysts, and spores, and of the mucilage of Anabaena cylindrica.
(9) Bacteria were found attached to the heterocysts of Aphanizomenon flos-aquae and embedded within the mucilage of both anabaena flos-aquae and Microcystis aeruginosa in freshwater plankton.
(10) The results also demonstrate that the middle lamella of the longitudinal walls shared by epidermal cells and by epidermal and cortical cells constitutes a barrier to the diffusion of cell wall and mucilage molecules.
(11) There was a significant relationship (r = 0.44 p less than 0.025) between the dose of P. psyllium mucilage and its attenuating effect of hyperglycemia.
(12) A decrease in mucilage concentration is also observed in the young antheridia after 3 days of continuous darkness.
(13) The mechanical force responsible apparently originates from the formation of an ectoplasmic mucilage capable of exerting pressure over all of the ascus contents; when the apex of the peduncle ruptures, the ascospores are violently released.
(14) Fibers and concentrations used were carboxymethylcellulose (1.25, 2.5, and 5%), guar gum, oat beta-glucan (2.5, 5, and 7.5%), and mustard mucilage (5, 10, and 15%) as the soluble fibers, and cellulose (20%) as the insoluble fiber.
(15) The mucilage is secreted from the Golgi apparatus in vesicles which fuse at the plasma membrane.
(16) The effects of the granule size and density on the drying rate kinetics of tablet granulations were studied using lactose and sulfathiazole granules prepared with acacia mucilage and providone solution.
(17) The adsorption of radioactive mucilage by pathogenic fungi was shown to be dependent upon time, the composition of mucilage, the type of fungal surface (conidia, hyphae, hyphal apices), fungal species, pH and bivalent cations.
(18) After cannulation of the tubal ostium, 0.25 ml of phenol-mucilage was injected on each side and the presence of the chemical in the Fallopian tubes was confirmed by pelvic x-ray.
(19) The acidic polysaccharide from the seed-coat mucilage of Hyptis suaveolens is a highly branched L-fuco-4-O-methyl-D-glucurono-D-xylan for which a structure is proposed having a 4-linked beta-D-xylan backbone carrying side chains of single 4-O-methyl-alpha-D-glucuronic acid residues at O-2 and 2-O-L-fucopyranosyl-D-xylopyranose units at O-3.
(20) The preliminary phytochemical investigations have revealed the presence of flavonoids, iridoids, phenolic acids, saponins, amino acids, free sugars, and mucilages in the lyophilized infusion obtained from flowers of Verbascum thapsiforme Schrad.
