Some people emphasizes that the true human behavior emerges from the inclination to indulge in evil. Corruption has always dominantly manifested within humans in greed and deceit. People have to learn to be virtuous. Furthermore, it justifies the reason for the decadence and the crimes within society such as murder, rape, and thievery. Even throughout history, it has been documented that mankind has always been involved in warfare and conflicts.

283262553ADP(Adenosine Diphosphate) The compound that remains when a phosphate group is removed from ATP, releasing energy. It is the raw material that is converted to ATP during cell respiration and photosynthesis.
283262554Adenine, Ribose, Three Phosphate GroupsThe three specific components in the chemical structure of ATP
283262555GLYCOLYSISfirst step in cellular respiration, in which a molecule of glucose is broken into two molecules of pyruvate and 2 ATP molecules are produced
283262556KREBS/CITRIC ACID CYCLESecond stage in aerobic cell respiration whereby pyruvate molecules are further broken down into CO2, plus two additional ATP molecules plus additional substances that will be used in the last phase of respiration
283262557ELECTRON TRANSPORTThe last stage of aerobic cell respiration whereby oxygen is used by the cell along with "carrier" molecules from earlier stages in respiration, to produce 32 ATP molecules, plus water
28326255836The total number of ATP high energy molecules produced by aerobic cell respiration
283262559SUGAR, OXYGENThe two raw materials used by cells in aerobic respiration
283262560CO2, WATER, 36 ATPThe three products that result in cells from aerobic respiration
283262561ANAEROBIC FERMENTATIONForm of cellular respiration in which cells get the energy they need through the breakdown of glucose in the absence of oxygen. Will produce lactic acid or alcohol as end-products
283262562LACTIC ACIDA main waste product produced by animal cells during anaerobic respiration in the absence of oxygen. It causes burning pain in muscles.
283269443GENEA portion of a DNA molecule that codes for the manufacture of proteins, or other cell traits
283269444JUNK DNAThat portion of the DNA genome in all living cells that does not appear to code for anything; inactive. Accumulates in cell DNA through inheritance from distant ancestors and through mutations
283269445PROMOTERS, SUPPRESSORSSpecific sections of DNA that appear to control the activity of other DNA genes; they can turn on genes or turn them off
283269446TRANSCRIPTIONThe process whereby whole or partial sections of DNA are copied and fabricated into mRNA inside the nucleus
283269447DNA REPLICATIONThe process by which an entire strand of DNA is copied and duplicated, just prior to the beginning of cell division (Mitosis or Meiosis)
283269448mRNA (Messenger RNA)The complimentary strand of RNA that is produced inside the nucleus when a section of a DNA gene is copied and transcribed. It will pass out of the nucleus through a nuclear pore and be used by ribosomes as a template to make proteins
283269449tRNA (Transfer RNA)The form of RNA floating freely in the cytosol that has amino acids attached to it. Will be grabbed and used by ribosomes during protein synthesis to make proteins
283269450CODONA specific sequence of three adjacent bases on a strand of mRNA that provides a ribosome with genetic code information for a particular amino acid
283269451ANTICODONA sequence of three bases of a tRNA molecule that pairs with the complementary three-nucleotide codon of an mRNA molecule during protein synthesis.
283269452START CODONA specific codon (AUG) that signals to ribosomes to begin the assembly of a protein
283269453STOP CODONA specific codon that signals to ribosomes to end the assembly of a protein. There are three different ones.
283269617BIOLOGYThe science of the study of life
283276246GENOMEThe complete set of DNA instructions for making an organism, consisting of all the genetic material in that organism's chromosomes.
283276247HUMAN GENOME PROJECTcompleted worldwide scientific effort to determine the nucleotide sequence of the entire human DNA genome
284238851TRANSLATIONThe process by which mRNA enters the ribosome and is used as a template for tRNA to form a chain of amino acids. This produces a protein.
286758073HelicaseThe enzyme used by cells to uncoil the DNA double Helix into two separate strands inside the nucleus prior to DNA replication
286758074DNA PolymeraseThe enzyme used by cells in the nucleus to copy one side of an unwound DNA strand and assemble a complimentary matching DNA strand
291361510RNA PolymeraseThe enzyme in the nucleus that unwinds the DNA double helix to expose a gene section, and makes a complimentary copy of mRNA from that gene
436327205AlcoholAn end-product of anaerobic fermentation, produced particularly by yeast cells in the absence of oxygen
4363693732, 8, 18, 32How many electrons each of the first four shells in atoms can hold?
