The result of the effect of such physicochemical parameters of the medium as pressure, sharp temperature changes, the absence of oxygen and insolation, depends on their combination and simultaneity.
It seems likely, however, that the effects do not represent the physicochemical changes in the cupula but the electrical potentials in the nerve and nerve endings of the crista.
The emphasis upon quantification and the physicochemical analysis of vital processes was to continue into the eighteenth century and to contribute to the great stress upon precision in that period.
This static approach was later supplanted by a more dynamic one concerned primarily with thephysicochemical aspects of embryonic development.
The theory of natural selection invokes neither design nor purpose, but it is incomplete since it disregards the physicochemical constitution of living matter about which little was known until recently.
All the "regulation" in the egg is of a purely physicochemical character; it consists essentially of a flow of material.
If the units constitute the physicochemical basis of life, as their authors maintain, then this controlling principle, since it is an essential feature of life, must of necessity be something which is not physicochemical in nature.
It must be said, however, that any theory of life phenomena must be based on our knowledge of the physicochemical constitution of living matter, and neither Darwin nor Lamarck was concerned with this.
The question remains: What could be the physicochemical nature of this cytolysis?
Determinism can never be but physicochemical determinism.
No progress was possible in this field until ways were found to replace the action of the living spermatozoon by well-known physicochemical agencies.
But the unfertilized egg is not homogeneous, on the contrary, it has a simple but definite physicochemical structure which suffices to determine the first steps in the differentiation of the organism.
This vital creation occurs always according to a definite plan, and in the opinion of Bernard it is impossible to account for this plan on a purely physicochemical basis.
Biological students are apt to think of life as a physicochemicalprocess of protoplasmic structure and cell organisation, with consciousness as an epiphenomenon.
The temperature of the soil is due to the direct rays of the sun, the physicochemical changes in its interior, and to the internal heat of the earth.
Owing to the intense physicochemical and organic changes taking place within the soil, all dead animal matter interred therein is easily disposed of in a certain time, being reduced to the primary constituents, viz.
Students who have been prepared in general chemistry along physicochemical lines, as represented, for instance, by Smith's textbooks, make more rapid and more easy progress in the first course than do students otherwise prepared.
The rigorous development of the subjects presented and their elaboration from a purely physicochemical standpoint are left to advanced courses.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "physicochemical" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
