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).
While the wave height record was not reached, a high wave duration record has been set. On Oct. 30, 2012, there were 10 straight hours of recorded waves of 18 feet or greater. The previous record occurred Nov. 10-11, 1998, when there were seven consecutive hours of 18-foot waves.
