Difficulty: Advanced (C1-C2 level, suitable for learners with a strong background in science or biology; requires familiarity with Russian adjective inflections.)

Pronunciation (Russian):

индуцируемый: [in.du.tsi.rɐ.van.nɨj]

Note on индуцируемый: This word has a complex consonant cluster in the middle, which can be challenging for non-native speakers. Stress falls on the fourth syllable ("va"). Pronunciation may vary slightly in fast speech.

Audio: []

Meanings and Usage:

Primary Meaning: Capable of being induced, especially in scientific contexts like gene expression or biological processes.

Translation(s) & Context:

• индуцируемый - Used in formal scientific writing or discussions, particularly in biology, chemistry, or genetics to describe processes that can be triggered by external factors.

Usage Examples:

• В эксперименте ген был индуцируемым под действием определенного стимула.

  In the experiment, the gene was inducible under the influence of a specific stimulus.

  Inducible reactions in the immune system help the organism adapt to infections.

• Этот фермент индуцируемый и активируется только в присутствии субстрата.

  This enzyme is inducible and only activates in the presence of the substrate.

• В лабораторных условиях мы изучаем индуцируемые изменения в клеточной структуре.

Russian Forms/Inflections:

"Индуцируемый" is an adjective derived from the verb "индуцировать" (to induce). As a Russian adjective, it follows the standard pattern of short and long forms and inflects according to gender, number, and case. It is a regular adjective but may vary based on context.

Note: The short form (e.g., индуцируем) is less common and used in predicate positions.

Russian Synonyms/Antonyms:

• Synonyms: стимулируемый (stimulirovannyy) - Similar but implies direct stimulation; вызываемый (vyzyvaemyy) - More general, meaning "caused or evoked."
• Antonyms: неиндуцируемый (neindutsirovannyy) - Directly opposite, meaning "non-inducible"; конститутивный (konstitutivnyy) - Meaning "constitutive," as in always active without induction.

Related Phrases:

• Индуцируемая экспрессия генов - Inducible gene expression (common in molecular biology contexts).
• Индуцируемый ответ иммунной системы - Inducible immune system response (refers to adaptive reactions in immunology).
• Индуцируемый процесс в биохимии - Inducible process in biochemistry (used for enzyme activation scenarios).

Usage Notes:

"Индуцируемый" directly corresponds to the English "inducible" in scientific contexts, but it's primarily used in formal or academic Russian. Avoid using it in casual conversation, as it may sound overly technical. When translating, ensure the context specifies what is being induced (e.g., genes or reactions). For verbs, pair it with related terms like "индуцировать" for a more complete sentence. If multiple translations exist, choose "индуцируемый" for precision in biology, but "вызываемый" for broader applications.

• Grammar note: Always inflect according to the noun it modifies to maintain agreement in gender, number, and case.
• Context tip: In Russian scientific literature, this word often appears in abstracts or experimental descriptions.

Common Errors:

One common mistake is confusing "индуцируемый" with "индуктивный" (inductive), which relates to logic or electricity. For example, learners might say "индуктивный ген" instead of "индуцируемый ген," meaning they use the wrong term for gene expression. Correct usage: Use "индуцируемый" for processes that can be triggered, not for logical induction. Another error is failing to inflect properly, e.g., saying "индуцируемый книга" (incorrect) instead of "индуцируемая книга" if referring to a feminine noun.

• Incorrect: Этот ген индуктивный. (This implies logical induction.)
• Correct: Этот ген индуцируемый. (Proper for biological induction.)

Cultural Notes:

In Russian scientific culture, terms like "индуцируемый" reflect the influence of Western biology, especially from English-language research. It gained prominence during the Soviet era in fields like genetics, where Russian scientists contributed to global understanding of inducible systems. However, it doesn't carry unique cultural connotations beyond its technical use.
