Biochemical Principles of Energy Metabolism

This module introduces the concept of energy metabolism, covering topics such as the definition of metabolism, energy in life, ATP as the universal energy currency, and its role in muscle contraction and molecular transport.

This module focuses on metabolic organs, hunger hormones, carbohydrate digestion, enzymes, and glucose absorption.

This module covers the process of glucose oxidation and energy production, including glycolysis, mitochondria, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.

This module explores photosynthesis, including Earth's energy cycle, light-dependent photosynthesis, carbon fixation, and C4 and CAM plants.

This module covers fat metabolism, including adipose tissue, fat structure, digestion and absorption of fat, oxidation of fatty acids, and fatty acid biosynthesis.

This module focuses on glucose energy homeostasis and diabetes, covering glucagon, insulin, insulin actions, and diabetes types.

This module covers various aspects of energy homeostasis in the body, including metabolic responses to starvation, stress, exercise, alcohol consumption, cancer, and the role of microbiota in energy metabolism.
