Glycolysis is the metabolic process of converting 1 molecule of glucose to 2 molecules of pyruvate through a series of 10 enzyme catalyzed reactions.

Kelvin temperature scale is the temperature scale that is based upon absolute zero.

Partition is the word which is used for separation, dividing, mark off, etc... Compunding, union, attaching, total, etc... are antonyms of partition.

A mountain is what has roots that nobody sees, Is taller than trees, Up, up it goes, Yet it never grows.

Fermentation is the chemical breakdown of a substance by bacteria, yeasts, or other microorganisms, typically involving effervescence and the giving off of heat.

The two most common types of fermentation are

(1) alcoholic fermentation (and) 

(2) lactic acid fermentation.

(1) Alcoholic fermentation : the type of fermentation in which ethyl alcohol is the main end product .This is very common in yeast (unicellular fungus) and also seen in some bacteria. Yeast cells release enzymes called zymase complex which bring about the fermentation. The reactions are similar to anaerobic respiration.

(2) Lactic acid fermentation : The type of fermentation in which lactic acid is the end product.

It is carried out by some bacteria (e.g. lactic acid bacteria), and also by animals (muscle glycolysis in animals, under oxygen deficiency, results in the formation of lactic acid this is whay we experience in muscle cramps, or "Charley horse").

Increasing the Alveolar ventilation rate will increase the rate of carbon dioxide diffusion from the blood to the alveoli.

Ribosomes comprise a complex macro molecular machine, found within all living cells, that serves as the site of biological protein synthesis. Ribosomes link amino acids together in the order specified by messenger RNA molecules.
