a lipase hydrolyses what
fatty acids
what is the molecular geometry of a central atom with 5 bonds and 1 lone pair?

Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide is what
NADH
chaperone protein does what

clathrin does what

part of the plasma membrane with a high concentration of cholesterol and affects cell signaling and membrane fluidity.
discuss glomerulus vs. Bowman’s capsule

processing speech and sound at the same time
describe the sclera
