Biology [r]: The science of life — of complex, self-organizing, information-processing systems living in the past, present or future. ^[e]
Biochemistry [r]: The chemistry of living things; a field of both biology and chemistry. ^[e]

Carbohydrate metabolism [r]: The various biochemical processes responsible for the formation, breakdown and interconversion of carbohydrates in living organisms. ^[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]
Protein synthesis [r]: "a certain kind of natural production (or biosynthesis) of polypeptides for protein molecules according to a nucleic acid code" ^[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]
Central metabolism [r]: Add brief definition or description

Anabolic [r]: Biological processes that build larger molecules from smaller ones, and increase the size of bones, organs and muscles. ^[e]
Biosynthesis [r]: The production of chemical metabolites by living systems. ^[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]
Porphyrin [r]: Class of cyclic compounds in which the parent macrocycle consists of four pyrrole-type units interconnected at their α carbon atoms via a methine bridge, and functioning as a metal-binding cofactor in haemoglobin, chlorophyll, and certain enzymes. ^[e]
HMG-CoA reductase pathway [r]: Add brief definition or description
Secondary metabolism [r]: Add brief definition or description
Photosynthesis [r]: The process by which an organism captures and stores energy from sunlight, energy it uses to power its cellular activities. ^[e]
- Light-dependent reaction [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Light-independent reaction [r]: Add brief definition or description
Calvin cycle [r]: A metabolic cycle, discovered by Melvin Calvin, that is responsible for the reduction of carbon dioxide to sugar in the stroma of chloroplasts. ^[e]
Carbon fixation [r]: Add brief definition or description
Glyoxylate cycle [r]: Metabolic pathway in some orgnaisms which uses acetyl CoAs to synthesize carbohydrates. ^[e]

Glycolysis [r]: A biochemical pathway by which a molecule of glucose is oxidized to two molecules of pyruvate. ^[e]

Citric acid cycle [r]: A series of enzyme-catalysed chemical reactions of central importance in all living cells that use oxygen as part of cellular respiration. ^[e]
Beta-oxidation [r]: Add brief definition or description
