Glükoos on püsisoojaste loomade eelistatud energiaallikas. Nad varuvad glükoosi lihastesse ja maksa glükogeeni kujul. Taimede glükoosivarud on tärklise kujul. Glükoos on tselluloosi koosseisus olulisemaid taime rakukesta komponente. Keemiline valem on C6H12O6. Desoksüribonukleotiid on keeruka struktuuriga ühend, mis moodustub kolme keemilise rühma - lämmastikaluse, desoksüriboosi ja fosfaatrühma - liitumisel. Desoksüribonukleiinhape ehk DNA (inglise keeles deoxyribonucleic acid; varem kasutati ka lühendit DNH) on enamikus elusorganismides pärilikku informatsiooni säilitav aine, keemiliselt desoksüriboosist, lämmastikalustest ja fosforhappejääkidest koosnev polümeer. Puhas DNA on happeline, toatemperatuuril tahke, suhteliselt pehme, värvitu või õrnalt violetja varjundiga, vees hästi lahustuv aine. DNA struktuuri bioloogiline tähtsus Elusorganismides esineval DNA struktuuril on suur bioloogiline tähtsus. Kuna DNA
hemisphere of the cerebral cortex. It plays a role in controlling movement and associating the functions of other cortical areas. GABA – see GAMMA-AMINO BUTYRIC ACID GAMMA-AMINO BUTYRIC ACID (GABA) – An amino acid* neurotransmitter* which acts in the brain to inhibit neurones. GANGLION – A cluster of neuronal cell bodies. GENE EXPRESSION – The process of retrieving information from the ‘blue print’ of the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), via the so called transcription or re-writing the DNA sequence into the messenger RNA (ribonucleic acid) and then into the sequence of amino acids* in molecules of proteins produced on the messenger RNA. GLIA – Non neuronal cells present in the brain which perform various important functions such as nourishing neurones, providing trophic support, scavenging dead cells, producing myelin etc. GLUTAMATE – An amino acid neurotransmitter which acts to excite neurones.
