What's the difference between quinquivalent and trivalent?
Quinquivalent
Definition:
(a.) Same as Pentavalent.
Example Sentences:
(1) Polar tervalent and quinquivalent arsenicals were less effective than hydrophobic arsenicals.
(2) This contains molybdenum in a quinquivalent state, which is resistant to both oxidation and reduction.
(3) Pollen mother cells with adjacent orientation of the translocation quinquivalent or with a trivalent and a bivalent were delayed in their development and appeared at prometaphase and metaphase later than cells with alternate quinquivalents.
(4) After full reduction of the enzyme with dithionite, addition of nitrate caused reoxidation of molybdenum to the quinquivalent state, in a time less than the enzyme turnover.
Trivalent
Definition:
(a.) Having a valence of three; capable of being combined with, substituted for, or compared with, three atoms of hydrogen; -- said of triad atoms or radicals; thus, nitrogen is trivalent in ammonia.
Example Sentences:
(1) Binding is inhibited by divalent and trivalent cations (Cd2+ and La3+ being most potent) and other calcium channel drugs (1,4 dihydropyridines, phenylalkylamines, benzothiazepines).
(2) Trivalent oral poliovaccine is used in Argentina to prevent poliomyelitis.
(3) The trivalent vaccine is intended to protect against currently circulating strains of influenza A(H3N2) and influenza B viruses and may provide partial protection against the new influenza A(H1N1) variant.
(4) The second tool is trivalent arsenical affinity chromatography, which we use to show novel direct interactions between trivalent arsenicals and several proteins from 3T3-L1 adipocytes including the insulin-responsive glucose transporter GLUT4, the insulin proreceptor, and both the alpha and beta subunits of tubulin.
(5) Trivalent oral attenuated poliovirus vaccine or enhanced potency inactivated vaccine administered at ages 4 and 12 months.
(6) The results of validation tests showed that both Cr(VI) and trivalent chromium, Cr(III), were stable in the collection medium and that samples may be stored for up to 100 days without appreciable loss of Cr(VI).
(7) The transmembrane potential of voltage-clamped squid giant axon is increased to compensate for a reduction in the rate of potassium channel kinetics when artificial seawater with trivalent erbium ion is substituted for artificial seawater.
(8) Antibody production in kwashiorkor and marasmic infants was studied by dividing them into three groups and giving the first group a single dose of trivalent live attenuated polio virus, the second group live attenuated measles virus and the third group diphtheriatoxoid.
(9) Circulating trivalent chromium can be taken up by tissues, and its distribution in the body depends on the species, age, and chemical form.
(10) Unfortunately, epidemiologic studies have not provided definitive answers to other questions: (i) does trivalent chromium present a cancer risk?

(17) CSF-AK analysis indicated cerebral damage as absent or trival in 45%, moderate in 33% and marked in 22%.
(18) However, evidence was obtained from quantitative precipitation experiments which indicated that BPO(6)-lysine(7) functions as a trivalent hapten immunologically, i.e., capable of binding three antibody molecules per mole hapten.
(19) In an attempt to improve the serological response of infants in warm climates to oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV), the authors administered to 79 children between 6 and 41 weeks of age trivalent and monovalent OPV containing a virus dose 10 times as high as that found in the standard vaccine.
(20) Two of the chromosomes making up the trivalent were, most often, completely paired with each other and only partially paired or associated with the third one.
