Popular Starting Points
104 recordsGlycolysis · Glycolysis (human)
The ten-step cytosolic pathway that splits one glucose into two pyruvate, with a net gain of 2 ATP and 2 NADH.
Cellular Respiration · Cellular respiration
How cells transfer energy from fuel molecules into ATP, often using oxygen in the final electron-accepting step.
Citric Acid cycle · Citric acid cycle in human metabolism
The citric acid cycle oxidizes the acetyl group of acetyl-CoA to two carbon dioxide molecules while regenerating oxaloacetate. Each turn yields three NADH, one FADH2, and one GTP (or ATP), which feed biosynthesis and oxidative phosphorylation.
Photosynthesis
The capture of light energy and transfer of carbon from carbon dioxide into organic molecules by plants, algae, and some bacteria.
DNA Replication · DNA replication
How a cell copies its DNA before division.
Translation
How ribosomes read mRNA and build a protein from amino acids.
Acquired Drug resistance · Acquired drug resistance
A reduction in drug response that develops as cells or tumors adapt under treatment pressure.
Action Potential · Action potential
A rapid, regenerative change in membrane voltage that carries signals along excitable cells such as neurons.
Active Membrane Transport
Transport that moves substances against a gradient by coupling movement to an energy source.
Adaptive Immune Response
Antigen-specific B- and T-cell responses that can form immunological memory.
