sünteeritakse

Sünteeritakse is the Estonian word for "is synthesized" or "are synthesized." It is the third-person plural present tense passive form of the verb "sünteesima" (to synthesize). This term is commonly used in scientific and technical contexts, particularly in chemistry and biology, to describe the process by which a substance is created through artificial means, often by combining simpler compounds.

The process of synthesis involves chemical reactions designed to form new molecules with desired properties. This can range from the creation of complex organic molecules in pharmaceuticals and materials science to the production of simpler compounds for industrial applications. In biology, the term can also refer to biological processes where organisms produce essential substances, such as hormones or enzymes, though the active form of the verb is more frequently used in such contexts.

When something "sünteeritakse," it implies that it is not naturally occurring in that specific form or that it is being produced in a controlled laboratory or industrial setting. This distinguishes it from substances that are extracted directly from natural sources. The concept is fundamental to many fields, enabling the development of new medicines, advanced materials, and a deeper understanding of chemical and biological processes.
