bioactivityBiologic activity, such as biochemical or immunologic reactivity: the biologic effect (function or dysfunction, benefit or toxicity) of a substance.
bioarrayAn array of biological or biochemical components or cells
bioartArt that incorporates or mimics biological forms.
bioartificialDescribing any artificial device that has biological components.
bioassayThe analysis of the biological activity of a substance, with reference to a standard preparation, using a culture of living cells, or a living creature.
bioautographyA form of chromatography employing a biological detection method
bioavailabilityThe extent to which a substance is molecularly available to cells and tissues in a living organism, which depends on factors such as solubility, pH level, and presence of enzymes and cofactors; for example, even if one's ingestion of vitamin B₁₂ is average/typical, one might nonetheless have B₁₂ deficiency if one has poor metabolism of this particular vitamin.
bioavailableAble to be absorbed by a living organism.
biobatteryAn energy storage device powered by organic compounds, such as glucose.
biobedA pit of soil used in agriculture to capture pesticide residue and break it down.
biobehavioralPertaining to the biological causes of behavior.
biobeltAn astronaut's belt with electrodes for monitoring heart rate, blood pressure etc.
biobetterA medication developed by modifying an approved biological drug to enhance its properties (e.g., improved efficacy, higher selectivity or lower toxicity).
biobleachingThe bleaching of paper using biological agents such as enzymes
bioblitzAn intense biological survey, often community-driven or involving citizen science, that attempts to record all the living species within a designated area.
biobotA robot that is partly or wholly biological in nature, as for example an assemblage of plant cells or animal cells that can perform tasks such as moving and reacting.
biocarrierA plastic former, of an intricate shape, that holds biological agents in water-purification plants.
biocartilageSynthetic cartilage made from biological material
biocatalysisCatalysis using biological catalysts (especially enzymes, whether protein enzymes or RNA ones (ribozymes).
biocatalystA biochemical catalyst, such as an enzyme (either a protein enzyme or a ribozyme) or a biomolecular condensate that has biocatalytic ability.
biocatalyticRelating to, or employing biocatalysis
biocatalyticallyIn a biocatalytic manner; by means of a biocatalyst
