| Terms for subject Environment (6716 entries) |
| aċidu amino | amino acid (Organic compounds containing a carboxyl group (-COOH) and an amino group (-NH2). About 30 amino acids are known. They are fundamental constituents of living matter because protein molecules are made up of many amino acid molecules combined together. Amino acids are synthesized by green plants and some bacteria, but some (arginine, histidine, lysine. threonine, methionine, isoleucine, leucine, valine, phenylalanine, tryptophane) cannot be synthesized by animals and therefore are essential constituents of their diet. Proteins from specific plants may lack certain amino acids, so a vegetarian diet must include a wide range of plant products) | |
| aċidu dilwit | diluted acid (A less concentrated acid) | |
| aċidu idrokloriku | hydrochloric acid (A solution of hydrogen chloride gas in water; a poisonous, pungent liquid forming a constant-boiling mixture at 20% concentration in water; widely used as a reagent, in organic synthesis, in acidizing oil wells, ore reduction, food processing, and metal cleaning and pickling. Also known as muriatic acid, HCl) | |
| aċidu nuklejku | nucleic acid (Any of several organic acids combined with proteins (DNA or RNA) which exist in the nucleus and protoplasm of all cells) | |
| aċidu tal-kubrit | sulphuric acid (A toxic, corrosive, strongly acid, colorless liquid that is miscible with water and dissolves most metals, and melts at 10C; used in industry in the manufacture of chemicals, fertilizers and explosives, and in petroleum refining) | |
| adattament għat-tibdil fil-klima | adaptation to climate change | |
| adattament għat-tibdil fil-klima | climate change adaptation | |
| addattament ekoloġiku | ecological adaptation (Change in an organism so that it is better able to survive or reproduce, thereby contributing to its fitness) | |
| addittiv | additive (Substances mixed in small quantities with another product to modify its chemical or physical state. Additives are used to make food look visually more attractive, in the case of colouring agents, as well as to preserve and extend the life of the product) | |
| addittiv għall-karburant | fuel additive (Substance (such as tetraethyl lead) which is added to petrol to prevent knocking) | |
| addittiv tal-ikel | food additive (Substances that have no nutritive value in themselves (or are not being used as nutrients) which are added to food during processing to improve colour, texture, flavour, or keeping qualities) | |
| addizzjonalità | emissions reduction additionality | |
| addizzjonalità | additionality | |
| addizzjonalità tat-tnaqqis tal-emissjonijiet | emissions reduction additionality | |
| addizzjonalità tat-tnaqqis tal-emissjonijiet | additionality | |
| addizzjoni kimika | chemical addition (Chemical reaction in which one or more of the double bonds or triple bonds in an unsaturated compound is converted to a single bond by the addition of other atoms or groups) | |
| adeżiv | adhesive (Substance used for sticking objects together, such as glue, cement, or paste) | |
| adsorbiment | adsorption (The physical or chemical bonding of molecules of gas, liquid or a dissolved substance to the external surface of a solid or the internal surface, if the material is porous, in a very thin layer) | |
| adult | adult (A person who is fully grown, developed or of a specified age) | |
| aerazzjoni | aeration (Exposition to the action of air) |
