WHAT DOES CHEMOKINESIS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Chemokinesis

Chemokinesis is chemically prompted kinesis, a motile response of unicellular prokaryotic or eukaryotic organisms to chemicals that cause the cell to make some kind of change in their migratory/swimming behaviour. Changes involve an increase or decrease of speed, alterations of amplitude or frequency of motile character, or direction of migration. However, in contrast to chemotaxis, chemokinesis has a random, non-vectorial moiety, in general. Due to the random character, techniques dedicated to evaluate chemokinesis are partly different from methods used in chemotaxis research. One of the most valuable ways to measure chemokinesis is computer-assisted checker-board analysis, which provides data about migration of identical cells, whereas, in Protozoa, techniques based on measurement of opalescence were also developed.

Definition of chemokinesis in the English dictionary

The definition of chemokinesis in the dictionary is the random movement of cells, such as leucocytes, stimulated by substances in their environment.
