Biochemistry

Protein synthesis: "a certain kind of natural production (or biosynthesis) of polypeptides for protein molecules according to a nucleic acid code" ^[e]
Oxidative phosphorylation: A process in which ATP is formed by coupling the transfer of electrons through a series of electron carriers to proton gradients across a biological membrane; most frequently associated mitochondria and their role in aerobic respiration. ^[e]
Anaerobic respiration: Add brief definition or description
Active site: Add brief definition or description
ATP synthase: Add brief definition or description
Carbohydrate: Organic compounds containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen; includes sugars and starches that provide energy to living organisms and form an important part of the diet of most animals. ^[e]
Chemiosmosis: Add brief definition or description
Electron transport chain: (ETC) A series of biochemical reactions that couple a chemical reaction between an electron donor and an electron acceptor to the transfer of protons across a membrane. ^[e]
Enzyme kinetics: The time course of chemical reactions catalyzed by enzymes. ^[e]

Botany

Xylem: Add brief definition or description
Ethylene: "the simplest alkene (with one double bond), having the chemical formula C₂H₄" ^[e]
Auxin: Add brief definition or description
Calvin cycle: A metabolic cycle, discovered by Melvin Calvin, that is responsible for the reduction of carbon dioxide to sugar in the stroma of chloroplasts. ^[e]
Cellulose: "Naturally-occurring polysaccharide substance found abundantly in a wide variety of plants. It is composed of β-glucopyranose units condensed together by 1,4-glycosidic linkages into polymer chains." ^[e]
