The sequence of stages that a cell passes through between one division and the next. The cell cycle oscillates between mitosis (M) and the interphase, which is divided into the G1 phase (involving a high rate of biosynthesis and growth), the S phase (in which the DNA content is doubled as a consequence of chromosome replication), and the G2 phase (preparatory for cell division).

Phagocytosis is the process by which a cell uses its plasma membrane to engulf a large particle (≥ 0.5 μm), giving rise to an internal compartment called the phagosome. It is one type of endocytosis. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phagocytosis)

Root hydraulic conductivity is a measure of how easily water can flow through a plant's roots. It's calculated as the rate of water flow divided by the difference in water potential and the root surface area. This is a property of the roots themselves, not influenced by their size. (Adapted from Gambetta, Gregory & Knipfer, Thorsten & Fricke, Wieland & Mcelrone, Andrew. (2017). Aquaporins and Root Water Uptake. 10.1007/978-3-319-49395-4_6.)
A young fish at the post-larval stage. May include all fish stages from hatching to fingerling. An advanced fry is any young fish from the start of exogenous feeding after the yolk is absorbed while a sac fry is from hatching to yolk sac absorption. In Salmonidae the stage from end of dependence on the yolk sac as the primary source of nutrition to dispersal from the redd. (FishBase, 2024. Glossary.
