mimic

Examples of mimic in the following topics:

• Successful Rehearsing Habits: Mimic Timing and Context

  • If you mimic the behaviors of other speakers, you run the risk of not having delivery which is natural for you.
  • You are not attempting to mimic an actor who is giving a performance, you are developing your own conversation with your audience.
  • However, if you are going to mimic,observe and mimic natural conversation.

• Inhibiting Essential Metabolite Synthesis

  • The second type of antimetabolite antibiotics consist of pyrimidine analogues which mimic the structure of metabolic pyrimidines .
  • The purine analogues are the third type of antimetabolite antibiotics and they mimic the structure of metabolic purines .

• Reactions of Alkylidene Complexes

  • The first diagram displays a few carbonyl-like reactions, which mimic organolithium addition to ketones (eq. # 1), ester amination (eq. # 2), the Wittig reaction (eq. # 3) and alpha-carbon alkylation (eq. # 4).

• Anabolic Steroids and Muscles

  • Anabolic steroids , known technically as anabolic-androgen steroids (AAS) or colloquially as "steroids" (or even "roids"), are drugs that mimic the effects of testosterone and dihydrotestosterone in the body.
  • Anabolic steroids are testosterone and dihydrotestosterone hormone mimics that stimulate anabolism, specifically protein synthesis and muscle hypertrophy.

• Antiviral DNA Synthesis Inhibitors

  • The most common strategy used for this approach is to use molecules that mimic the structure of a nucleoside.
  • It mimics pyrophosphate and inactivates the activity of the DNA polymerase.

• Predation, Herbivory, and the Competitive Exclusion Principle

  • While some predators learn to avoid eating certain potential prey because of their coloration, other species have evolved mechanisms to mimic this coloration to avoid being eaten, even though they themselves may not be unpleasant to eat or contain toxic chemicals.
  • Assuming they share the same predators, this coloration then protects the harmless ones, even though they do not have the same level of physical or chemical defenses against predation as the organism they mimic.
  • Many insect species mimic the coloration of wasps or bees, which are stinging, venomous insects, thereby discouraging predation.

• Artificial Blood Substitutes

  • Blood substitutes are substances used to mimic the oxygen-carrying capacity of blood, providing an alternative to blood transfusion.
  • A blood substitute (also called artificial blood or blood surrogates) is a substance used to mimic and fulfill some functions of biological blood, usually in the oxygen-carrying sense.

• Agonists, Antagonists, and Drugs

  • Drugs effecting cholinergic neurotransmission may block, hinder, or mimic the action of acetylcholine and alter post-synaptic transmission.
  • A nicotinic agonist is a drug that mimics, in one way or another, the action of acetylcholine (ACh) at nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs).

• Blastomycosis

  • A chronic illness that mimics tuberculosis or lung cancer, with symptoms of low-grade fever, a productive cough, night sweats, and weight loss

• Symbols and Nature

  • Parrots mimic the sounds of human language, but have they really learned the symbolic system?
