NAD [r]: (NAD⁺/NADH) A coenzyme found in cells that is involved in redox reactions, carrying electrons from one reaction to another; NAD⁺ is an oxidizing agent, accepting electrons, and becomes reduced to NADH. ^[e]
NADH [r]: Add brief definition or description
NADPH [r]: A major reducing agent in biological systems. ^[e]
natural environment [r]: A term that encompasses all living and non-living things occurring naturally on Earth or some region of Earth. ^[e]
natural selection [r]: The differential survival and/or reproduction of classes of entities that differ in one or more characteristics ^[e]

Neutral theory of molecular evolution [r]: Add brief definition or description
Niche [r]: Add brief definition or description
nitrogen cycle [r]: A complex process in which the element nitrogen moves into the air, back down into the soil, is changed chemically by various processes, and returns to the atmosphere once again. This cycle is necessary for life on earth. ^[e]
