Transform Plate Boundaries. Transform Plate Boundaries are locations where two plates slide past one another. The fracture zone that forms a transform plate boundary is known as a transform fault. Most transform faults are found in the ocean basin and connect offsets in the mid-ocean ridges.
Laminin function and loss-of-function studies. Laminin exerts many different functions, including embryogenesis, vascular maturation, and neuromuscular development [8, 34, 35, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41]. These functions are highly dependent on laminin isoforms, their cellular sources, and developmental stages.
Functions of nitrogen in plants. 1  Nitrogen is an essential element of all amino acids. 2  Nitrogen is also a component of nucleic acids, which form the DNA of all living things and holds the genetic code. 3  Nitrogen is a component of chlorophyll, which is the site of carbohydrate formation (photosynthesis).
