Khachatour Koshtoyants

Khachatour Koshtoyants is a biology topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Khachatour Koshtoyants rather than just read about it. In short: Khachatour Koshtoyants (Armenian: Խաչատուր Սեդրակի Կոշտոյանց; Russian: Хачатур Седракович Коштоянц; September 26, 1900 – April 2, 1961) was a Soviet physiologist, Corresponding Member of the Academy of Sciences of the Soviet Union (since 1939), Member of the Armenian National Academy of Sciences (since 1943), Professor at the Lomonosov Moscow State University (since 1930), Doktor Nauk in Biological Sciences (1935)…

Key takeaways

Khachatour Koshtoyants belongs to biology; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Khachatour Koshtoyants to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Khachatour Koshtoyants from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Khachatour Koshtoyants (Armenian: Խաչատուր Սեդրակի Կոշտոյանց; Russian: Хачатур Седракович Коштоянц; September 26, 1900 – April 2, 1961) was a Soviet physiologist, Corresponding Member of the Academy of Sciences of the Soviet Union (since 1939), Member of the Armenian National Academy of Sciences (since 1943), Professor at the Lomonosov Moscow State University (since 1930), Doktor Nauk in Biological Sciences (1935). He was a Laureate of the 1947 Stalin Prize.

Life He was born in Armenia. He graduated from the Lomonosov Moscow State University in 1926. From 1929 he worked in his alma mater. In 1935 he received the title of Professor. From 1943 Koshtoyants headed the Department of Physiology of Animals at the Lomonosov Moscow State University. Also from 1936 he worked at the Severtsov Institute of Ecology and Evolution of the Academy of Sciences of the Soviet Union. From 1946 to 1953 he was Director of the Vavilov Institute for the History of Science and Technology. He died in Moscow in 1961.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Khachatour Koshtoyants

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Khachatour Koshtoyants claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In biology, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Khachatour Koshtoyants before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Khachatour Koshtoyants ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Khachatour Koshtoyants

In research: Khachatour Koshtoyants appears in biology research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Khachatour Koshtoyants in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Khachatour Koshtoyants is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1900 births, 1961 deaths, 20th-century science writers, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Khachatour Koshtoyants outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
