- Acetylcholine [r]: A chemical transmitter in both the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and central nervous system (CNS) in many organisms including humans. [e]
- Adenosine triphosphate [r]: A molecule sometimes called the "energy currency" of a cell [e]
- Aerobic organism [r]: An organism that has an oxygen-based metabolism. [e]
- Amino acid [r]: Biochemical with an amino group, a carboxyl group, a hydrogen atom, and a side chain bonded to a central carbon. [e]
- Anabolism [r]: Biological processes that build larger molecules from smaller ones, and increase the size of bones, organs and muscles. [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]
- Biochemistry [r]: The chemistry of living things; a field of both biology and chemistry. [e]
- Biology [r]: The science of life — of complex, self-organizing, information-processing systems living in the past, present or future. [e]
- Carbon dioxide [r]: Chemical compound composed of two oxygen atoms covalently bonded to a single carbon atom. [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]
- Diabetes mellitus [r]: Relative or absolute lack of insulin leading to uncontrolled carbohydrate metabolism. [e]
- Enzyme [r]: A protein that catalyzes (i.e. accelerate) chemical reactions. [e]
- Eukaryote [r]: An organism that is composed of one or more cells containing cell nuclei. [e]
- Fatty acid metabolism [r]: Oxidative degradation of saturated fatty acids in which two-carbon units are sequentially removed from the molecule with each turn of the cycle, and metabolized so that it can be used as a source of energy in aerobic respiration. [e]
- Fermentation (biochemistry) [r]: The process of deriving energy from the oxidation of organic compounds, such as carbohydrates, using an endogenous electron acceptor, which is usually an organic compound. [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 [r]: A monosaccharide (or simple sugar) and an important carbohydrate in biology, used by the living cell as a source of energy and metabolic intermediate. [e]
- Glycolysis [r]: A biochemical pathway by which a molecule of glucose is oxidized to two molecules of pyruvate. [e]
- 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]
- Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine [r]: Award conferred once a year by the Swedish Karolinska Institute, for physiology or medicine, since 1901. [e]
- Protein [r]: A polymer of amino acids; basic building block of living systems. [e]
- Urea cycle [r]: Cycle of biochemical reactions occurring in many animals that produces urea (NH2)2CO from ammonia (NH3), with the key reaction being the hydrolysis of arginine by arginase to ornithine and urea. [e]
