Polymerization characterizes the formation of polymers from monomers. There are different types of polymerizations in chemistry and biology. Polymerization reactions take place in the organism to form biopolymers such as proteins and nucleins

In biology, replication is the duplication of genetic information that the human body stores in the form of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Certain enzymes copy the genes, keeping half of the original DNA strand

Cell communication is a process made up of intercellular and intracellular communication. Information is first exchanged between the cells via messenger substances. Within the cell, the signal is then transmitted via receptors

Signal transduction is the transmission of external and internal stimuli in the organism. Mainly receptor proteins, messenger substances and enzymes are involved in this signal transmission. Errors in signal transduction lie in most diseases

Resorption is the uptake of substances as it takes place in the intestine, for example. Unlike in German, resorption in English means the re-absorption of substances that have actually been filtered out into the body. Resorption disorders lie

Speaking is a basic function of human communication and distinguishes humans in this area from every animal. The human language in this mature form does not occur in the animal kingdom and is a unique, very accurate one

Insulin production takes place in the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas. A lack of or no insulin production leads to type 1 diabetes mellitus.

Oxygen (O2) is essential for humans. The oxygen uptake from the air you breathe takes place in the lungs. From there, the oxygen-rich blood is transported to the cells. These need the oxygen in the context of internal cell respiration

Without breathing there is no metabolism and without metabolism there is no life. Humans and all vertebrates are therefore dependent on gas exchange via lung breathing.

The skin surface of all animal organisms, including humans, is colonized with a skin flora made up of bacteria and fungi. The normal flora consists only of non-pathogenic microorganisms. As commensals or mutuals, many have bacteria

An intraocular lens is an artificial lens that is inserted into the eye during a surgical procedure. The artificial lens remains permanently in the eye and significantly improves the patient's eyesight.
