organic compounds containing an amino group and acid group

a phosphoric ester of a nucleoside

the inner portion of the gelatinous liquid inside a cell

a white crystalline carbohydrate used as a sweetener

an activity resembling science but based on fallacious assumptions

the metabolic processes whereby certain organisms obtain energy from organic molecules; processes that take place in the cells and tissues during which energy is released and carbon dioxide is produced and absorbed by the blood to be transported to the lungs

the bodily process of inhalation and exhalation

a nucleotide derived from adenosine that occurs in muscle tissue; the major source of energy for cellular reactions

(biochemistry) a long linear polymer found in the nucleus of a cell and formed from nucleotides and shaped like a double helix; associated with the transmission of genetic information

a positive feeling of liking

the use of microorganisms for industrial purposes

a nucleotide derived from adenosine that occurs in muscle tissue; the major source of energy for cellular reactions

an ester of adenosine that is converted to ATP for energy storage

a tiny sac for holding air in the lungs

a drug that destroys infectious agents like the flu

a phenomenon associated with surface tension and resulting in the elevation or depression of liquids in capillaries

reproduction without the fusion of gametes

not having or involving sex

a lymphocyte derived from bone marrow that provides humoral immunity; it recognizes free antigen molecules in solution and matures into plasma cells that secrete immunoglobulin (antibodies) that inactivate the antigens

a small lymphocyte developed in the thymus

a virus that is parasitic (reproduces itself) in bacteria

the use of microorganisms for industrial purposes

the fluid that is pumped through the body by the heart

inflammation of the membranes lining the bronchial tubes

either of the two main branches of the trachea

an abundant nonmetallic element in all organic compounds

the organic circulation of carbon from the atmosphere into organisms and back again

the branch of medicine dealing with the heart and its diseases

a rigid layer of polysaccharides enclosing a plant membrane

the metabolic processes whereby certain organisms obtain energy from organic molecules; processes that take place in the cells and tissues during which energy is released and carbon dioxide is produced and absorbed by the blood to be transported to the lungs

the readily stainable substance of a cell nucleus consisting of DNA and RNA and various proteins; during mitotic division it condenses into chromosomes

organic process consisting of the division of the cytoplasm of a cell following karyokinesis bringing about the separation into two daughter cells

of or relating to cytoplasm

a microscopic network of actin filaments and microtubules in the cytoplasm of many living cells that gives the cell shape and coherence

the branch of biology that studies the structure and function of cells

the system that makes food absorbable into the body

(ecology) the gradual and orderly process of change in an ecosystem brought about by the progressive replacement of one community by another until a stable climax is established

animal reproductive body consisting of an ovum or embryo together with nutritive and protective envelopes; especially the thin-shelled reproductive body laid by e.g. female birds

the system of glands that produce endocrine secretions that help to control bodily metabolic activity

the branch of medicine dealing with the endocrine glands and their secretions

the inner portion of the gelatinous liquid inside a cell

relating to the esophagus

reflux of stomach contents into the esophagus

having cells with `good' or membrane-bound nuclei

an organ that separates waste substances from the blood and discharges them

community of organisms where each member is eaten by another

community of organisms with several interrelated food chains

the taxonomic kingdom including yeast, molds, smuts, mushrooms, and toadstools; distinct from the green plants

the act of making immune (especially by inoculation)

a calculus formed in the kidney

the part of the alimentary canal between the stomach and the anus

a thin coagulable fluid (similar to plasma but) containing white blood cells (lymphocytes) and chyle; is conveyed to the blood stream by lymphatic vessels

the interconnected system of spaces and vessels between body tissues and organs by which lymph circulates throughout the body

a large phagocyte

any of the small tubules that are the excretory units of the vertebrate kidney

the sensory and control apparatus consisting of a network of nerve cells

(biochemistry) any of various macromolecules composed of nucleotide chains that are vital constituents of all living cells

a phosphoric ester of a nucleoside

of or involving the ovaries

of or involving the pancreas

any of various compounds composed of fatty acids and phosphoric acid and a nitrogenous base; an important constituent of membranes

the vascular structure in the uterus of most mammals providing oxygen and nutrients for and transferring wastes from the developing fetus

having cells that lack membrane-bound nuclei

eukaryotic one-celled living organisms distinct from multicellular plants and animals: protozoa, slime molds, and eukaryotic algae

free-living or colonial organisms with diverse nutritional and reproductive modes

an activity resembling science but based on fallacious assumptions

the system for taking in oxygen and giving off carbon dioxide; in terrestrial animals this is accomplished by breathing

of or relating to or characterized by sexuality

the hard structure (bones and cartilages) that provides a frame for the body of an animal

the part of the alimentary canal between the stomach and the anus

coins collectively

the male reproductive cell; the male gamete
