Russian Translation(s) & Details for 'eukaryotic'

English Word: eukaryotic

Key Russian Translations:

• эукариотический /jɪʊkərʲɪɐˈtʲitɕɪskʲɪj/ - [Formal, Scientific]

Frequency: Low (Primarily used in specialized scientific and biological contexts; not common in everyday language)

Difficulty: Advanced (C1-C2, as it requires knowledge of biological terminology and Russian adjective inflections)

Pronunciation (Russian):

эукариотический: /jɪʊkərʲɪɐˈtʲitɕɪskʲɪj/

Note on эукариотический: This word has a complex pronunciation due to its foreign origin (from Greek via English). Pay attention to the soft consonants, such as the palatalized 'рʲ' and 'тʲ', which are common in Russian but may be challenging for English speakers. Stress falls on the fourth syllable.

Audio: []

Meanings and Usage:

Biological term for cells or organisms with a nucleus.

Translation(s) & Context:

• эукариотический - Used in formal scientific discussions to describe cells or organisms that have a defined nucleus and membrane-bound organelles, such as in biology textbooks or research papers.

Usage Examples:

• Эукариотические клетки содержат ядро и митохондрии.

  Eukaryotic cells contain a nucleus and mitochondria.

• В эукариотических организмах наблюдается сложная структура ДНК.

  In eukaryotic organisms, a complex DNA structure is observed.

• Эукариотический тип клеток преобладает у животных и растений.

  The eukaryotic type of cells predominates in animals and plants.

• Исследования эукариотических микроорганизмов помогают понять эволюцию.

  Studies of eukaryotic microorganisms help understand evolution.

• Эукариотический цикл клеточного деления включает митоз.

  The eukaryotic cell division cycle includes mitosis.

Russian Forms/Inflections:

Эукариотический is an adjective in Russian, derived from the noun "эукариот" (eukaryote). As with most Russian adjectives, it follows regular inflection patterns based on gender, number, and case. It does not have irregular forms but must agree with the noun it modifies.

Note: This adjective is invariant in terms of stress but changes endings to match the noun's gender, number, and case.

Russian Synonyms/Antonyms:

• Synonyms: эукариальный (less common, emphasizing the eukaryotic nature in a more technical sense; used interchangeably in some contexts but эукариотический is preferred in general biology)
• Antonyms: прокариотический (prokaryotic; refers to cells without a nucleus, highlighting the fundamental biological opposition)

Related Phrases:

• Эукариотические организмы - Eukaryotic organisms (Refers to living things like animals, plants, and fungi with complex cellular structures.)
• Эукариотический геном - Eukaryotic genome (Used in genetics to describe the DNA organization in eukaryotic cells.)
• Ядро эукариотической клетки - Nucleus of a eukaryotic cell (A key phrase in cell biology discussions.)

Usage Notes:

This translation corresponds directly to the English "eukaryotic," which is a scientific adjective describing cells with a membrane-bound nucleus. In Russian, use эукариотический only in formal, academic, or professional contexts, such as biology lectures or research papers. It must agree grammatically with the noun it modifies (e.g., эукариотическая клетка for feminine nouns). When choosing between translations, эукариотический is the most precise and widely accepted; avoid casual synonyms unless in specialized fields. Be mindful of Russian adjective inflections to ensure sentence accuracy.

Common Errors:

• Error: Using the word without proper inflection, e.g., saying "эукариотический клетки" instead of "эукариотическая клетка" (for a feminine noun like "клетка").

  Correct: Эукариотическая клетка имеет ядро. (Eukaryotic cell has a nucleus.) Explanation: Russian adjectives must match the noun's gender, number, and case; this is a common mistake for English speakers who are used to invariant adjectives.

• Error: Confusing it with its antonym, e.g., using "эукариотический" when "прокариотический" is meant, such as in discussions of bacteria.

  Correct: Бактерии являются прокариотическими организмами. (Bacteria are prokaryotic organisms.) Explanation: Ensure the context is clear; mix-ups can lead to scientific inaccuracies.

Cultural Notes:

Эукариотический is a borrowed term from English and Greek roots, reflecting Russia's integration of international scientific terminology. It doesn't carry specific cultural connotations but highlights the global nature of biological sciences. In Russian education, such terms are emphasized in biology curricula, underscoring the importance of scientific literacy in modern Russian society.
