Biochemistry of metabolism (part 1)
This learning journey explores the fundamental pathways cells use to extract and manage energy, starting with the principles of metabolism and high-energy molecules. It delves into glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, pyruvate metabolism, glycogen breakdown, and fat catabolism, highlighting how cells coordinate these processes to sustain life.
