- Adenine [r]: A base incorporated into DNA and RNA and part of an energy carrier, as ATP, in metabolism. [e]
- Adenosine [r]: One of the nucleotides used to build RNA; the deoxy form is used to make DNA. [e]
- Alanine cycle [r]: A way for muscle cells to use amino acids as energy sources, while transferring to the liver the expensive task of dealing with the ammonium released from those amino acids. [e]
- Anabolism [r]: Biological processes that build larger molecules from smaller ones, and increase the size of bones, organs and muscles. [e]
- Antineoplastic agent [r]: Drug that prevents the development, maturation, or spread of neoplastic cells. [e]
- Archaea [r]: A major group of numerous microorganisms fundamentally different from the bacteria and including many chemolithotrophs and extremophiles. [e]
- Astrocyte [r]: A non-neural cell type in the brain and spinal cord of vertebrates. [e]
- Beta oxidation [r]: The process by which fatty acids, in the form of Acyl-CoA molecules, are broken down in the mitochondria to generate Acetyl-CoA, the entry molecule for the Krebs Cycle. [e]
- Biosynthesis [r]: The production of chemical metabolites by living systems. [e]
- Catabolism [r]: The metabolic process that breaks down molecules into smaller units. [e]
- Cell (biology) [r]: The basic unit of life, consisting of biochemical networks enclosed by a membrane. [e]
- Cellular respiration [r]: A series of metabolic processes by which living cells produce energy through the oxidation of organic substances. [e]
- Coenzyme A [r]: A coenzyme notable for its role in the synthesis and oxidization of fatty acids, and the oxidation of pyruvate in the citric acid cycle. [e]
- Cryobiology [r]: The study of living organisms, organs, biological tissues or biological cells at low temperatures. [e]
- Cyclic AMP [r]: An adenine nucleotide that is a second messenger and a key intracellular regulator, functioning as a mediator of activity for a number of hormones, including epinephrine, glucagon, and ACTH (U.S. National Library of Medicine). [e]
- DNA [r]: A macromolecule that stores genetic information. Chemically, a nucleic acid. [e]
- Facultative anaerobic organism [r]: An organism, usually a bacterium, that makes ATP by aerobic respiration if oxygen is present but is also capable of switching to fermentation under anaerobic conditions. [e]
- Flavin [r]: A tricyclic biochemical based on pteridine that is derived from the vitamin riboflavin. [e]
- Gluconeogenesis [r]: Formation of glucose, especially by the liver, from noncarbohydrate precursors, such as amino acids, lactate, pyruvate, and the glycerol portion of fats. [e]
- Glucose-6-phosphate [r]: (G6P), is glucose that has been phosphorylated on carbon 6. The conversion from glucose to G6P is the first step of glycolysis for energy production in cells. [e]
- Glycolysis [r]: A biochemical pathway by which a molecule of glucose is oxidized to two molecules of pyruvate. [e]
- Heterocycle [r]: A cyclized chemical with nitrogen, oxygen or sulfur within the ring structure. [e]
- Lactic fermentation [r]: A form of fermentation that occurs in animal cells in the absence of oxygen. [e]
- Life [r]: Living systems, of which biologists seek the commonalities distinguishing them from nonliving systems. [e]
- List of biology topics [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Metabolism [r]: The modification of chemical substances by living organisms. [e]
- Microbial metabolism [r]: The means by which a microbe obtains the energy and nutrients (e.g. carbon) it needs to live and propagate. [e]
- Mitochondrion [r]: Structure, function, life cycle and evolutionary theories involving the origins and role of the mitochondrion. [e]
- Neurotransmitter [r]: A class of chemicals which relay, amplify or modulate electrical signals between a neuron and other cells in the nervous system. [e]
- Nucleic acid metabolism [r]: Process by which nucleotides are synthesized and degraded, using an anabolic mechanism generally involving chemical reaction of phosphate, pentose sugar, and a nitrogenous base. [e]
- Nucleic acid [r]: A class of macromolecules important in conveying genetic information. [e]
- Photosynthesis [r]: Scientific term for the conversion of sunlight into energy by plants [e]
- Platelet [r]: Cell fragments circulating in the blood. [e]
- Protein kinase [r]: A family of enzymes that catalyze the conversion of adenosine triphosphate and a protein to adenosine diphosphate and a phosphoprotein. [e]
- RNA [r]: A polymer, made using the nucleotides of adenosine, guanosine, uridine and cytidine, that is used for a variety of biological functions in living systems. [e]
- Tyrosine kinase [r]: An enzyme that catalyzes tyrosine phosphorylation; the transfer of a phosphate group from an adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to the hydroxyl oxygen atom on the amino acid tyrosine. [e]
- Uracil [r]: One of the four bases found in ribonucleic acid (RNA). [e]
