Field of My Study

I have been studying in Natural Science (health profile) for 2 years. At cegep, it's a pre-university program. In this program, there are four scientific subjects. There are mathematics, chemistry, physical, and biology. Also, this program allows me to go in a job related with health like doctor, pharmacist, radiologist, veterinary... In addition, it's important to know that this is the hardest pre-university program. Indeed, for the admission to university, a lot of health jobs are restricted.The glossary will be intended for all people who read it. It will be composed of 20 terms about my filed of study so that everyone understands aspects of this program. It was by thinking about aspects of my field of study that I found the words. Also, it's on Google that I found the definition of the words.

algebra: noun; The part of mathematics in which letters and other general symbols are used to represent numbers and quantities in formulae and equations.; Example: The product of primitive polynomials is again primitive (Page 396, A First Course In Abstract algebra, Fraleigh, Addisn-Wesley (2003)) and by the uniqueness proved in Theorem 2.2, for some unit.; fr: algèbre
beaker: noun; A lipped cylindrical glass container for laboratory use.; Example: C 8 H 5 O 4 K (S) (l) - irritant, to avoid ingestion and eye or skin contact. Always to have good lab practice Methods and Observations 0.1M C 8 H 5 O 4 K was made up by weighing 4.8 - 5.2 g solid the solid was transferred and dissolved in about 100 cm 3 distilled water to a 250 cm 3 beaker use a glass stirring rod to break up larger crystals the solution was transferred and made up to a 250 cm 3 graduated flasks with distilled water (bottom of the meniscus of the solution is just at the horizontal mark of the flask) the flask was inverted (with the thumb on the stopper) several times to ensure the solution is well-mixed NaOH (aq) was run down to a 50.00 cm 3 burettes, so that the tube below the tap is also filled up.; fr: gobelet
burette: noun; A graduated glass tube with a tap at one end, for delivering known volumes of a liquid, especially in titrations.; Example: Method: Preparation of standard sodium hydroxide solution a small portion of the sodium hydroxide solution was placed in a clean burette until above the zero mark, the jet was filled with liquid by opened the tap, and the position of the base of the meniscus was recorded.; fr: burette
chemical products: noun; Products are the species formed from chemical reactions. During a chemical reaction reactants are transformed into products after passing through a high energy transition state. This process results in the consumption of the reactants.; Example: As many modern buildings use products that increase in the likelihood of molds (e.g., paper and wood based products), reported cases have increased in recent years.; fr: produits chimiques
desiccator: noun; A glass container or other apparatus holding a drying agent for removing moisture from specimens and protecting them from water vapor in the air.; Example: Remelt powders were put in glass jars and shaken well to roughly homogenize the different reactants before being stored in a desiccator.; fr: dessiccateur
DNA: noun; A self-replicating material that is present in nearly all living organisms as the main constituent of chromosomes. It is the carrier of genetic information.; Example: Each generation has consisted of a variety of character strings or real-valued parameters those stand for the chromosome that seen in our DNA.; fr: ADN
dropper: noun; A short glass tube with a rubber bulb at one end and a tiny hole at the other, for measuring out drops of medicine or other liquids.; Example: At first, in his play "The Wasps " written in 422 BC Aristophanes makes only a few short comments of the war, mentioning Cleonymus who was given the name "the great-shield dropper," referring to an incident during one of the battles with the Spartans.; fr: compte-gouttes
erlenmeyer: noun; A conical flat-bottomed laboratory flask with a narrow neck.; Example: The deep concave gradient employed (fig. 2) was obtained with a nine-chambered gradient elution device ("Varigrad", reference (8)) and has been described elsewhere. the other, a shallow concave gradient (Fig. 1), was produced with a so-called "cone-sphere" apparatus, the "cone" being a 2-liter erlenmeyer flask and the "sphere," a 2-liter round-bottom flask.; fr: erlenmeyer
flask: noun; A container for liquids.; Example: Method 180.0 cm 3 of benzyl alcohol solution (2.33 x 10 -3 mol dm -3 benzyl alcohol, 0.68 mol dm -3 sulphuric acid, 20% acetic acid, with dilution factor 180 200), was dispensed from a burette into a 500 cm 3 conical flasks . 20.0 cm 3 of potassium permanganate (4.06 x 10 -3 mol dm -3 ) solution was pipetted into a separate conical flask.; fr: fiole
funnel: noun; A tube or pipe that is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, used for guiding liquid or powder into a small opening.; Example: It is good to have rinsed the weighing boat, stirring rod and the funnel after each transfer, and then the washings were added to the flask.; fr: entonnoir
graduated cylinder: noun; A graduated cylinder, also known as measuring cylinder or mixing a cylinder is a common piece of laboratory equipment used to measure the volume of a liquid. It has a narrow cylindrical shape.; Example: A cylinder viewed under similar circumstances will reveal edges that are soft as they turn away from the observer.; fr: cylindre gradué
humans body: noun; Humans body, the physical substance of the human organism, composed of living cells and extracellular materials and organized into tissues, organs, and systems.; Example: This shifts focus away from the question generating crisis and may contribute to dissolution of the discipline of architecture as we know it through appropriation by an emerging body of thought on the broadest role of creativity and aesthetics in culture.; fr: corps humain
laboratory: noun; A room or building equipped for scientific experiments, research, or teaching, or for the manufacture of drugs or chemicals.; Example: Tests of these hypotheses have taken place primarily in laboratory experiments.; fr: laboratoire
microscope: noun; An optical instrument used for viewing very small objects, such as mineral samples or animal or plant cells, typically magnified several hundred times.; Example: When a number of observers look at a picture, a piece of apparatus, a microscope slide, or whatever, there is a sense in which they are all confronted by, look at, and so, in a sense, "see" the same thing.; fr: microscope
molecule: noun; A group of atoms bonded together, representing the smallest fundamental unit of a chemical compound that can take part in a chemical reaction.; Example: The water molecule, H 2 O, has two hydrogen atoms attached to the big oxygen atom at angles that discourage the formation of equilateral triangles.; fr: molécule
pipette: noun; A slender tube attached to or incorporating a bulb, for transferring or measuring out small quantities of liquid, especially in a laboratory.; Example: Method DILUTION OF SAMPLE 90 ml MRD and 10 g minced beef were put into a stomacher bag Stomached in a Colworth Stomacher for 1 min = 10 -1 dilution Solid particles allowed to sediment, 10 ml transferred to glass universal bottle Using Gilson pipette, 1 ml transferred into 9 ml MRD = 10 -2 dilution 4 more tenfold serial dilutions made Mixed thoroughly and samples were all labeled Pour plate with melted PCA 1 ml of each dilution (10 -1 to 10 -6) was added to Petri dishes.; fr: pipette
scientific calculator: noun; A scientific calculator is a type of electronic calculator, usually but not always handheld, designed to calculate problems in science, engineering, and mathematics. They have completely replaced slide rules in traditional applications, and are widely used in both education and professional settings.; Example: The easiest way to find the log of a number is on a calculator: enter the number and press the LOG button.; fr: calculatrice scientifique

thermometer: noun; Thermometer.; Example: A digital thermometer can be used for more accurate temperature readings, thus human errors could be reduced.; fr: thermomètre
volumetric flask: noun; A volumetric flask is a piece of laboratory apparatus, a type of laboratory flask, calibrated to contain a precise volume at a certain temperature.; Example: Determination of the total acidity of vinegar. 25 ml of the vinegar sample was pipetted and diluted up to 100 ml in a volumetric flask.; fr: fiole jaugée
