Biology: The science of life — of complex, self-organizing, information-processing systems living in the past, present or future. ^[e]
Life: Living systems, of which biologists seek the commonalities distinguishing them from non-living systems. ^[e]

Biochemistry

Biochemistry: The chemistry of living things; a field of both biology and chemistry. ^[e]
Metabolism: The modification of chemical substances by living organisms. ^[e]
Ion channel: Gated, ion-selective glycoproteins that traverse membranes. The stimulus for channel gating can be a membrane potential, drug, transmitter, cytoplasmic messenger, or a mechanical deformation. ^[e]
Protein synthesis: "a certain kind of natural production (or biosynthesis) of polypeptides for protein molecules according to a nucleic acid code" ^[e]
Oxidative phosphorylation: A process in which ATP is formed by coupling the transfer of electrons through a series of electron carriers to proton gradients across a biological membrane; most frequently associated mitochondria and their role in aerobic respiration. ^[e]
Anaerobic respiration: Add brief definition or description

Active site: Add brief definition or description
Adenosine triphosphate: A molecule sometimes called the "energy currency" of a cell ^[e]
Antibody: In physiology, antibodies are "immunoglobulin molecules having a specific amino acid sequence by virtue of which they interact only with the antigen (or a very similar shape) that induced their synthesis in cells of the lymphoid series (especially plasma cells). National Library of Medicine ^[e]
ATP synthase: Add brief definition or description
Carbohydrate: Organic compounds containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen; includes sugars and starches that provide energy to living organisms and form an important part of the diet of most animals. ^[e]
Chemiosmosis: Add brief definition or description
Electron transport chain: (ETC) A series of biochemical reactions that couple a chemical reaction between an electron donor and an electron acceptor to the transfer of protons across a membrane. ^[e]
Enzyme kinetics: The time course of chemical reactions catalyzed by enzymes. ^[e]
Adipocyte: Cell that stores fat and makes it available for use as energy. ^[e]
Glycoprotein: "a protein with a carbohydrate (saccharide) group bonded to it" ^[e]
Michaelis-Menten kinetics: Add brief definition or description
Monoclonal antibody: Highly specific antibodies produced in large quantity by the clones of a single hybrid cell formed in the laboratory by the fusion of a B cell with a tumor cell. ^[e]
Myosin: Add brief definition or description
Peptide: Compound containing two or more amino acids linked by a peptide bond, called dipeptide, tripeptide, etc., depending on the number of amino acids present. ^[e]
Protein phosphorylation: Add brief definition or description
Polypeptide: Compound containing multiple amino acids linked into a chain by peptide bonda; they constitute the basic structure of proteins. ^[e]
Polysaccharide: "a polymer consisting of multiple saccharide (carbohydrate or sugar) units bonded together as monomers, typically in the cyclic saccharide form" ^[e]
Protein folding: The physical process by which a polypeptide folds into its characteristic and functional three-dimensional structure from random coil. ^[e]
Protein structure: The structure of a protein, consisting of primary, secondary and tertiary structures. ^[e]
Proteolysis: Add brief definition or description
Receptor (biochemistry): Add brief definition or description
Redox: See Oxidation-reduction ^[e]
Substrate (biology): Add brief definition or description
Vitamin: Add brief definition or description

Félix d'Hérelle: (1873 – 1949) - A French-Canadian bacteriologist, and the discoverer of bacteriophages. ^[e]
Charles Darwin: (1809 – 1882) English natural scientist, most famous for proposing the theory of natural selection. ^[e]
