  2. Rodentology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rodentology

    Rodentology is a branch of mammalogy for the study of rodents by a rodentologist. [1] The scientific group of rodents would include, but is not limited to, mice, rats, squirrels, etc. From the perspective of zoology , it investigates the behaviour, biology and classification of various rodent species.

  3. Light-dependent reactions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-dependent_reactions

    P870 → P870 * → ubiquinone → cyt bc 1 → cyt c 2 → P870. This is a cyclic process in which electrons are removed from an excited chlorophyll molecule (bacteriochlorophyll; P870), passed through an electron transport chain to a proton pump (cytochrome bc 1 complex; similar to the chloroplastic one), and then returned to the chlorophyll ...

  5. Photosynthetic reaction centre - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photosynthetic_reaction_centre

    Reaction centers are present in all green plants, algae, and many bacteria.A variety in light-harvesting complexes exist across the photosynthetic species. Green plants and algae have two different types of reaction centers that are part of larger supercomplexes known as P700 in Photosystem I and P680 in Photosystem II.

  6. Photophosphorylation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photophosphorylation

    The scientist Charles Barnes first used the word 'photosynthesis' in 1893. This word is taken from two Greek words, photos, which means light, and synthesis, which in chemistry means making a substance by combining simpler substances. So, in the presence of light, synthesis of food is called 'photosynthesis'.

  7. Fractionation of carbon isotopes in oxygenic photosynthesis

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractionation_of_carbon...

    Carbon on Earth naturally occurs in two stable isotopes, with 98.9% in the form of 12 C and 1.1% in 13 C. [1] [8] The ratio between these isotopes varies in biological organisms due to metabolic processes that selectively use one carbon isotope over the other, or "fractionate" carbon through kinetic or thermodynamic effects. [1]

  8. Polynesian rat - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polynesian_rat

    The Polynesian rat, Pacific rat or little rat (Rattus exulans), or kiore, is the third most widespread species of rat in the world behind the brown rat and black rat.Contrary to its vernacular name, the Polynesian rat originated in Southeast Asia, and like its relatives has become widespread, migrating to most of Polynesia, including New Zealand, Easter Island, and Hawaii.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_rodents

    Rodents are animals that gnaw with two continuously growing incisors. Forty percent of mammal species are rodents, and they inhabit every continent except Antarctica. This list contains circa 2,700 species in 518 genera in the order Rodentia. [1]
