symport (medicine) and anorthosite (sh)


symport (medicine)


symport
<cell biology, physiology> A mechanism of transport across a membrane in which two different molecules move in the same direction.

Often, one molecule can move up an electrochemical gradient because the movement of the Other molecule is more favourable.

See: antiport, uniport, facilitated diffusion.


anorthosite (sh)




Type of igneous rock composed predominantly of calcium-rich feldspar.

It is considerably less abundant than either basalt or granite, but the complexes in which it occurs are often immense. All anorthosites found on the earth consist of coarse crystals, but some from the moon are finely crystalline.
