Definition that contains metabolic process
- respiration 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
- nad a coenzyme present in most living cells and derived from the B vitamin nicotinic acid; serves as a reductant in various metabolic processes
- lipmann United States biochemist (born in Germany) noted for his studies of metabolic processes (1899-1986)
- pet scanner a tomograph that produces cross-sectional X-rays of metabolic processes in the body
- fat metabolism a metabolic process that breaks down ingested fats into fatty acids and glycerol and then into simpler compounds that can be used by cells of the body
- nadp a coenzyme similar to NAD and present in most living cells but serves as a reductant in different metabolic processes
- fritz albert lipmann United States biochemist (born in Germany) noted for his studies of metabolic processes (1899-1986)
- nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide a coenzyme present in most living cells and derived from the B vitamin nicotinic acid; serves as a reductant in various metabolic processes
- positron emission tomography scanner a tomograph that produces cross-sectional X-rays of metabolic processes in the body
- respire undergo the biomedical and metabolic processes of respiration by taking up oxygen and producing carbon monoxide
