It's fixed. It's been coated with something - a heavy metal and so on, so it's basically dead.And to see things happening in the live cell, you need to use light microscopy.

It also provides a fixed environment inside the cell, and that membrane has several different functions. One is to transport nutrients into the cell and also to transport toxic substances out of the cell.

A sorting network is a fixed list of comparisons performed on a set of a given size; in each comparison, two elements are compared and exchanged if not in order. Koza et al. 1999, p.

Primer extension: This is a method used to figure out how far upstream from a fixed site the start of an mRNA is. For example, perhaps you have isolated a cDNA clone, but you don't think that the clone has all of the 5' untranslated region.

The exact number of nucleoli is fixed among members of the same species.

Molecules are compounds in which the elements are in definite, fixed ratios, as seen in Figure 12. Those atoms are held together usually by one of the three types of chemical bonds discussed above. For example: water, glucose, ATP.
