Industry:Biology; Chemistry
Uptake to the blood and transport via the blood of a substance to an organ or compartment in the body distant from the site of absorption.
Industry:Biology; Chemistry
Substance, structurally similar to a metabolite, which competes with it or replaces it, and so prevents or reduces its normal utilization.
Industry:Biology; Chemistry
Biomarker that, depending upon the magnitude, can be recognized as associated with an established or possible health impairment or disease.

Industry:Biology; Chemistry
Process in which a substance is converted to simpler products by physical or chemical mechanisms: examples include hydrolysis and photolysis.
Industry:Biology; Chemistry
Ratio of the absorbed to the incident radiant power. Also called absorption factor. When α ≤ 1, α ≈ Ae, where Ae is the Napierian absorbance.
Industry:Biology; Chemistry
Consequence which develops slowly and (or) has a long-lasting course: may be applied to an effect which develops rapidly and is long lasting.
