Phosphorylation — is the addition of a phosphate (PO4) group to a protein molecule or a small molecule. It can also be thought of as the introduction of a phosphate group into an organic molecule . Its prominent role in biochemistry is the subject of a very large… … Wikipedia
Phosphorylation — is a biochemical process that involves the addition of phosphate to an organic compound. Phosphorylation may, for instance, involve the addition of phosphate to glucose to produce glucose monophosphate. Or phosphorylation may, for example,… … Medical dictionary
metabolism — /meuh tab euh liz euhm/, n. 1. Biol., Physiol. the sum of the physical and chemical processes in an organism by which its material substance is produced, maintained, and destroyed, and by which energy is made available. Cf. anabolism, catabolism … Universalium
Cellular respiration — in a typical eukaryotic cell. Cellular respiration is the set of the metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and then release… … Wikipedia
