Processes
71 recordsCellular Respiration · Cellular respiration
How cells transfer energy from fuel molecules into ATP, often using oxygen in the final electron-accepting step.
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.
Adipose Tissue metabolism · Adipose tissue metabolism
Adipose tissue stores triglycerides after feeding and releases fatty acids during energy demand.
Allosteric Regulation · Allosteric regulation
Control of a protein's activity when a molecule binds at a site other than its main working site.
