in biology, the unit of structure and function of which all plants and animals are composed. The cell is the smallest unit in the living organism that is capable of integrating the essential life processes.he size of the nucleolus is a function chiefly of the cellâs ribosome requirement; the nucleolus is, therefore, especially large in a cell that intensively synthesizes proteins. Protein synthesis, the end result of chromosome function, occurs mainly in the cytoplasm.
In physical oceanography, the significant wave height (SWH or H s) is defined traditionally as the mean wave height (trough to crest) of the highest third of the waves (H 1/3).
Though the wave may not qualify as a ârogue wave,â it could have been created by the same forces. To officially be rogue, the waveâs height must be more than double the âsignificant wave heightâ of the area, which is calculated by averaging the height of the tallest third of all the nearby waves. The wave measured 26 feet tall and shattered plate-glass windows at the bow of the vessel.
