1
The application of engineering principles and design concepts to medicine and biology for healthcare purposes (e.g. diagnostic or therapeutic).
2
The pursuit of answers to medical questions. These investigations lead to discoveries, which in turn lead to the development of new preventions, therapies and cures.
3
The study of the transformation of energy in living organisms.
4
The first step of gene expression, in which a particular segment of DNA is copied into RNA (mRNA) by the enzyme RNA polymerase.
5
Each of several hierarchical levels in an ecosystem, comprising organisms that share the same function in the food chain and the same nutritional relationship.
6
The study of the distribution of species and ecosystems in geographic space and through time.
7
The study of the structure and function of biological systems by means of the methods of "mechanics."
8
The branch of science that explores the chemical processes within and related to living organisms. It is a laboratory based science that brings together biology and chemistry.
9
RNA consisting of folded molecules that transport amino acids from the cytoplasm of a cell to a ribosome.
10
The decoding of genetic instructions for making proteins.
11
An interdisciplinary science that applies the approaches and methods of physics to study biological systems.
12
Organic matter derived from living, or recently living organisms.
13
Application of biological methods and systems found in nature to the study and design of engineering systems and modern technology.
14
One of the four nucleobases in the nucleic acid of DNA that are represented by the letters G–C–A–T.
15
One of the four nucleobases in the nucleic acid of RNA that are represented by the letters A, G, C and U.
16
Serves an important role in the metabolism of nitrogen- containing compounds by animals, and is the main nitrogen-containing substance in the urine of mammals.
