  2. Isotopes of lead - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopes_of_lead

    Lead (82 Pb) has four observationally stable isotopes: 204 Pb, 206 Pb, 207 Pb, 208 Pb. Lead-204 is entirely a primordial nuclide and is not a radiogenic nuclide.The three isotopes lead-206, lead-207, and lead-208 represent the ends of three decay chains: the uranium series (or radium series), the actinium series, and the thorium series, respectively; a fourth decay chain, the neptunium series ...

  5. Chemiosmosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemiosmosis

    Chemiosmosis is the movement of ions across a semipermeable membrane bound structure, down their electrochemical gradient.An important example is the formation of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) by the movement of hydrogen ions (H +) across a membrane during cellular respiration or photosynthesis.

  6. Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poly_(ADP-ribose)_polymerase

    Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) is a family of proteins involved in a number of cellular processes such as DNA repair, genomic stability, and programmed cell death. [ 1 ] Members of PARP family

  7. Platelet plug - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platelet_Plug

    After platelets are recruited and begin to accumulate around the breakage, their “sticky” nature allows them to adhere to each other. This forms a platelet plug, which prevents more blood from leaving the body as well as any outside contaminants from getting in. The plug provides a temporary blockage of the break in the vasculature.

  8. Citric acid cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citric_acid_cycle

    The above reactions are balanced if P i represents the H 2 PO 4 − ion, ADP and GDP the ADP 2− and GDP 2− ions, respectively, and ATP and GTP the ATP 3− and GTP 3− ions, respectively. The total number of ATP molecules obtained after complete oxidation of one glucose in glycolysis, citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation is ...

  9. Receptor-mediated endocytosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Receptor-mediated_endocytosis

    Mechanism of clathrin-dependent endocytosis. Receptor-mediated endocytosis (RME), also called clathrin-mediated endocytosis, is a process by which cells absorb metabolites, hormones, proteins – and in some cases viruses – by the inward budding of the plasma membrane (invagination).
