energy, conservation of (sh) and lysogenic pathway (medicine)


energy, conservation of (sh)




Principle of physics according to which the energy of interacting bodies or particles in a closed system remains constant, though it may take different forms (e.g., kinetic energy, potential energy, thermal energy, energy in an electric current, or energy stored in an electric field, in a magnetic field, or in chemical bonds [see bonding]).

With the advent of relativity physics in 1905, mass was recognized as equivalent to energy. When accounting for a system of high-speed particles whose mass increases as a consequence of their speed, the laws of Conservation of energy and Conservation of mass become one Conservation law. See also Hermann von Helmholtz.


lysogenic pathway (medicine)


lysogenic pathway
<virology> The method by which a virus becomes a dormant, passive part of its host bacterium's genome (a lysogenic virus), choosing to insert its DNA into the host's and postponing completion of its lytic cycle, at which time it destroys the host and spreads its progeny to infect Other bacterial cells (enters the lytic pathway).
