"Allotrope" Natural Recordings by Native Speakers
An allotrope is a substance that exists in different forms with distinct molecular structures, but consisting of the same elements. It is a term used primarily for elements that can have more than one chemical arrangement. For example, carbon has several allotropes, such as diamond, graphite, and fullerene.
1. Carbon exists in several allotropes, such as diamond, graphite, and fullerenes.
2. Oxygen has two common allotropes: O2 (dioxygen) and O3 (ozone).
3. Selenium can be found in different allotropes, including amorphous, red, and grey forms.
4. The allotrope of sulfur known as "rhombic sulfur" has a lower melting point than its monoclinic allotrope.
5. Some elements, like phosphorus, have multiple allotropes with distinct chemical and physical properties; for instance, white phosphorus and red phosphorus.
Allotheism refers to the belief in a god or gods that are external to and distinct from the individual or community holding the belief. It contrasts with monotheism, which believes in one all-encompassing deity, and autolatry, which involves worship of oneself. In allotheism, the divine is seen as separate and independent from humanity.
Allotheria is an outdated term used to classify a group of extinct mammals known as "mammal-like reptiles" or synapsids, which includes animals such as therapsids. These creatures lived before the dinosaurs and are considered the ancestors of modern mammals. The term "allotheria" is not widely used in contemporary scientific classification systems.
An allotment refers to a portion or allocation of something, usually land or resources, that is assigned to a person or group for a specific purpose, such as gardening, housing, or resource usage. It can also refer to a regular payment, like an allowance or a share of profits.
Allotments refer to a piece of land that is allocated or assigned to individuals for gardening or cultivation, typically in urban areas. People can rent or lease these plots to grow their own fruits, vegetables, or flowers. Allotments provide a space for community members to engage in outdoor activities, practice self-sufficiency, and cultivate fresh produce. They are often managed by local councils or allotment associations.
Allotransplantation refers to the transplantation of organs or tissues from one individual to another who is not an identical twin (also known as a non-identical or allogenic transplant). It involves移植器官或组织从一个个体转移到另一个非同卵双胞胎的个体(也称为非同种移植)。它涉及免疫系统的匹配和排斥反应管理,因为受体的免疫系统可能会识别移植的组织为外来物并试图排斥它。
Allotriomorph refers to a taxonomic term used in biology to describe a variant or form of an organism that differs from the typical or standard form within a species. It is often used to classify organisms with unique or atypical characteristics, but still belonging to the same species.
Allotriomorphic refers to something that has diverse or different forms, shapes, or characteristics. It is derived from the Greek words "allo" meaning other or different and "trope" meaning form or shape. It can be used to describe organisms or entities that exhibit a wide range of variations in their physical attributes.
Allotriophagy refers to the feeding behavior of organisms that consume food from external sources other than their own kind or species. It is the consumption of substances that are not part of their usual diet or are obtained from different organisms. In simpler terms, it means eating a variety of foods that are not specific to their own species.
