What are some protease enzymes
(protease are proteins that break down proetin into amino acids)
trypsin, chymotrypsin and elastase.
What are some carbohydrate enzymes
amylases, invertases, inulinases, galactosidases, glucosidases, fructosyltransferases, pectinases and glucosyltransferases.
nitrogen fixation in which atmospheric nitrogen is converted into ammonia and ammonium by nitrogen-fixing bacteria in
legume root nodules
the formation of new species, speciation, due to reproductive isolation resulting from a geographic barrier.
Allopatric speciation
occurs without geographic barriers. Instead, reproductive isolation occurs by other mechanism
Sympatric speciation
primary excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system?
Glutamate and aspartate
inhibitory neurotransmitters include
GABA – in contrast to glutamate is a MAJOR INHIBITORY neurotransmitter in the brain
Serotonin – plays many roles including memory and mood
Dopamine – plays a role in reward-motivated behavior
Glycine – participates in the processing of motor and sensory information that permits movement, vision, and audio
consists of regions of condensed DNA, RNA, and proteins that serve to manufacture ribosomal subunits,
Nucleolus
What is the site of eukaryotic ribosome synthesis?
