Establishment of the micropyle, a single cone-shaped specialization of the chorion that allows sperm entry into the egg prior to fertilization.

branched duct epithelial cell fate determination (sensu Insecta)

branch cell fate determination (sensu Insecta)

Allocation of a set number of cells to each primary tracheal branch, prior to the onset of cell migration. This establishes different domains of cells within the tracheal placode. As in, but not restricted to, the true insects (Insecta, ncbi_taxonomy_id:50557).

The assembly of a filopodium, a very long microspike extended by the leading edge of a motile cell such as a crawling fibroblast or amoeba, or by the growth cone of a developing nerve cell axon.

Interacting selectively with hydroxyapatite, the calcium phosphate mineral of formula Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2 found both in rocks of nonorganic origin and as a component of bone and dentine.

The continuous turnover of bone matrix and mineral that involves first, an increase in resorption (osteoclastic activity) and later, reactive bone formation (osteoblastic activity). The process of bone remodeling takes place in the adult skeleton at discrete foci. The process ensures the mechanical integrity of the skeleton throughout life and plays an important role in calcium homeostasis. An imbalance in the regulation of bone resorption and bone formation results in many of the metabolic bone diseases, such as osteoporosis.

Catalysis of the reaction: hexitol + acceptor = hexose + reduced acceptor.

negative regulation of cellular metabolism

Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the rate, frequency or extent of the metabolic processes by which individual cells transform chemical substances.

Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the directed movement of RNA from the nucleus to the cytoplasm.

positive regulation of cellular metabolism

Any process that activates or increases the rate, frequency or extent of the metabolic processes by which individual cells transform chemical substances.
