manifold (sh) and oleosome (medicine)


manifold (sh)




In mathematics, a topological space (see topology) with a family of local coordinate systems related to each Other by certain classes of coordinate transformations.

Manifolds occur in algebraic geometry, differential equations, and classical dynamics. They are studied for their global properties by the methods of algebra and algebraic topology and form a natural domain for the global analysis of differential equations. See also tensor analysis.


oleosome (medicine)


oleosome
<cell biology> Plant spherosome rich in lipid that serves as a storage granule in seeds and fruits. There are none of the enzymes characteristic of lysosomes.
