Example sentences for: proportion
How can you use “proportion” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
They are constitutively permeable to water, and also function as regulated non-selective cation channels [ 10 ] when gated by intracellular cyclic GMP [ 11 12 ] . Even though only a small proportion of the AQP1 channels that are present in the membrane appear to be available for cGMP-activation of the ionic conductance (1/56,000), model-based calculations nonetheless suggest that this contribution could be meaningful in a physiological setting [ 13 ] . Unlike transporters which move substantial amounts of substrate by design, ion channels function to change membrane potential by the net movement of relatively tiny amounts of charge (~10 picomoles per cm 2membrane to generate a change of 100 mV) [ 14 ] , hence the low proportion of active AQP1 ion channels is consistent with a functional goal of gated ionic signaling that is distinct from that of massive constitutive osmotic water permeability.
When we think of the data as the 2 × 2 table, the most common way to compute the p -value is the chi-square test, which can be shown to be equivalent to the equality of proportion test described above.
Indeed, only a small proportion of trophoblast cultures from PT2 placentae showed complete transformation of cytotrophoblast cells into the syncytia, while in others mature syncytia were accompanied by cytotrophoblast cells.
Likewise, there was an inverse relationship found between the length of the polythimidine tract, which influences the acceptor strength, at the exon 9 acceptor site and the proportion of exon 9 deleted CFTR mRNA transcripts [ 23 ] . Our results indicate that acceptor splice site strength is an important parameter in the regulation of NF1 splicing.
The herds give a sense of proportion to the vast openness, just as the scattered farmhouses and characteristic drystone walls add reassuring warmth to even the loneliest valley.
