A nutrient that the body needs in small amounts to function and stay healthy. Q10 helps mitochondria (small structures in the cell) make energy. It is an antioxidant that helps prevent cell damage caused by free radicals (highly reactive chemicals). Q10 is fat-soluble (can dissolve in fats and oils) and is found in fatty fish, beef, soybeans, peanu...
Increase in death rate due to a 10°C increase in temperature. z = 18/log(Q10)Ratio of reaction rates for a 10 °C change in temperature
Symbol for the increase in rate of a process produced by raising the temperature 10°C; rate of contraction of an excised heart approximately doubles for every 10°C (i.e., Q10 = 2). ... (05 Mar 2000) ... 
A relationship for the effect of temperature on a process such that the process rate increases by the same multiple for every 10°C rise in temperature.Ratio of the velocity of reaction at one temperature and that at a temperature 10°C lower. Usually around 2 for biological reactions.
Type: Symbol Definitions: 1. Symbol for the increase in rate of a process produced by raising the temperature 10°C; rate of contraction of an excised heart approximately doubles for every 10°C (Q10 = 2).
