BIO181: General Biology for Biology Majors I

Vocabulary
I have listed here some important terms from the lectures. This list is an optional study aid. You should NOT assume that these are the only terms you should know to do well on the corresponding examination. On the other hand, if you you are unfamiliar with many of these terms, you will likely struggle with the examination.

These terms are listed in alphabetical order. Randomizing the list will optimize your studying.

Harvesting Chemical Energy*
Clicking on the link above will take you to an interactive flashcard site, but the flashcard list will differ from my list shown below. You should know the terms in my list, even if they don't appear on flashcards.

acetyl CoA ADP aerobic aerobic metabolism alcohol fermentation amino acid anabolism anaerobic anaerobic metabolism ATP biosynthesis carbohydrate carbon dioxide carboxylic acid cycle catabolism cellular respiration chemical energy chemiosmosis chloroplast citrate citric acid cycle

coenzyme coenzyme A covalent bond crista cytosol ecosystem electron electron donor electron receptor electron transport chain endergonic energy density energy flow eukaryote exergonic facultative anaerobe FADH FADH2 fatty acid feedback inhibition fermentation
