perfect gas (sh) and Monogenesis (medicine)


perfect gas (sh)




or ideal gas

Gas whose physical behaviour conforms to the General gas law, which states that for a given quantity of gas, the product of the volume V and pressure P is proportional to the absolute temperature T, or PV = kT, where k is a constant.

A perfect gas is assumed to consist of a large number of molecules in random motion, which obey Newton's laws of motion. Their volume is assumed to be negligibly small, and no forces are presumed to act on the molecules except during momentary collisions. Though no gas has these properties, real gases at sufficiently high temperatures and low pressures can be described this way.


Monogenesis (medicine)


monogenesis


1. Oneness of origin; especially.

<biology> Development of all beings in the universe from a single cell; opposed to polygenesis.

Synonym: monism.

2. <biology> That form of reproduction which requires but one parent, as in reproduction by fission or in the formation of buds, etc, which drop off and form new individuals; asexual reproduction.

3. <biology> The direct development of an embryo, without metamorphosis, into an organism similar to the parent organism; opposed to metagenesis.

Origin: Mono- + genesis.
