WHAT DOES ELECTROGENIC MEAN IN ENGLISH?

electrogenic

Bioelectrogenesis

Bioelectrogenesis is the generation of electricity by living organisms, a phenomenon that belongs to the science of electrophysiology. The nerve impulse is a bioelectric event. In biological cells, the Sodium-Potassium Exchanger maintains a voltage imbalance, or cell potential difference, between the inside of the cell and its surroundings. Also called a pump, the exchanger is said to be "electrogenic," because it removes 3 sodium ions for every two ions of potassium it allows in. The process consumes metabolic energy in the form of ATP. Plant cells also exhibit light-induced electrogenesis. Certain types of bacteria are able to generate electric currents which are used in microbial fuel cells. However the term usually refers to the electricity-generating ability that is in some aquatic creatures, such as the electric eel and to a lesser extent the black ghost knifefish. Fish exhibiting such bioelectrogenesis often also possess electroreceptive abilities as part of an integrated electric system. Electrogenesis may be utilized for electrolocation, self-defense, electrocommunication and sometimes the stunning of prey.

Definition of electrogenic in the English dictionary

The definition of electrogenic in the dictionary is resulting from electrical stimulation. Other definition of electrogenic is able to produce electrical impulses.
