  1. absorbance
    (physics) a measure of the extent to which a substance transmits light or other electromagnetic radiation
    This respiratory pigment contains copper in the cuprous state; the reversible fixation of molecular oxygen produces absorbance at 340 nm, which is responsible for the blue colour of haemocyanin.
  2. acid

    General information on lipids: hydrocarbons, fatty acids, oxylipins and sterols
    Some data on the lipid compositions of several species of molluscs were given by Joseph in a book edited Ackman (1989), already mentioned several times in previous chapters, and recent articles have been published by Ackman (2000) and Go et al. (2002) for marine species and by Misra et al. (2002) for two Indian freshwater species.
  3. Braga

  4. acetate
    a fabric made from fibers of cellulose acetate
    Their biosynthesis from 14C-acetate //[14C]acetate?// was obtained in Scapharca broughtoni and Mytilus edulis by Zhukova & Svetashev (1986) and Zhukova (1991), thus demonstrating the possibility that PUFAs may be biosynthesized by bivalves and the existence of an active Δ5 desaturase, which might be suggested by the presence of 18:1 (n-13) and 20:1 (n-15) acids (Joseph, 1989).
