Marine biologists studied a compound animal on the reef to understand how its many zooids coordinate as a single colony.

The botanist carefully examined the compound leaves to identify the species.

The acacia's compound leaf cast a delicate patterned shadow on the sandy soil.

Graduate students in the lab synthesized several organometallic compounds to study their catalytic properties.

In the study, quaternary compounds exhibited stronger binding affinity to the receptor than their tertiary analogues.

Amadori compounds often form during the early stages of the Maillard reaction and significantly affect the color and flavor of processed foods.

The researchers synthesized a new quaternary compound that acts as a bactericidal surfactant because its central nitrogen atom carries a positive charge and is bonded to four organic groups.

The software engineer identified several compound patterns in the legacy code to refactor.

The architect introduced a compound pattern to unite the factory and decorator solutions into a reusable subsystem.

Before installing the CPU cooler, apply a thin layer of thermal compound to ensure proper heat transfer.
