- Bacteriology [r]: The branch of microbiology concerned with the study, use, and control of bacteria [e]
- Biological membrane [r]: An amphiphilic envelope of cells and subcellular structural units. [e]
- Blood [r]: The body fluid that circulates in the vascular system (i.e., blood vessels). Whole blood includes plasma and blood cells. [e]
- Breed [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Calvin cycle [r]: A metabolic cycle, discovered by Melvin Calvin, that is responsible for the reduction of carbon dioxide to sugar in the stroma of chloroplasts. [e]
- Carbohydrate [r]: 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]
- Cell biology [r]: The study of the components of biological cells and their interactions. [e]
- Cell nucleus [r]: Membrane-enclosed organelle found in eukaryotic cells, containing most of the cell's genetic material, organized as multiple long linear DNA molecules in complex with a large variety of proteins, such as histones, to form chromosomes. [e]
- Central nervous system [r]: The main information-processing organs of the nervous system, consisting of the brain, spinal cord, and meninges. [e]
- Chloroplast [r]: The green organelles found in many higher plant cells and protists. Internal thylakoid membranes contain chlorophyll where photosynthesis takes place. [e]
- Chordata [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Chromosome [r]: A compact body of ribonucleic acid wrapped around proteins that is the unit in which genetic material is distributed during cell division. [e]

- Developmental biology [r]: The study of how cells grow and interact to form an organism. [e]
- DNA replication [r]: The synthesis of DNA where each strand of a double-stranded DNA molecule acts as a template for DNA polymerase enzymes to reproduce a complementary molecule. [e]
- Dopamine [r]: A monoamine neurotransmitter formed in the brain by the decarboxylation of dopa and essential to the normal functioning of the central nervous system. [e]
- Electron transport chain [r]: (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]
- Fat [r]: Adipose tissue; the body's main store of energy. [e]
- Fatty acid [r]: A variant of lipids commonly found in cell membranes and characterized by a hydrophilic head and a hydrophobic tail. [e]
- Fish [r]: Any aquatic vertebrate animal that is typically ectothermic (or cold-blooded), covered with scales, and equipped with two sets of paired fins and several unpaired fins. [e]
- Flagellum [r]: "A whip-like organelle protruding from a biological cell, similar to but smaller than a cilium, which can be quickly spun around to move the cell" [e]
