A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Carbohydrate metabolism: glycolysis and intermediary metabolism

This topic focuses on how glucose is broken down through glycolysis and how the products of glycolysis enter intermediary metabolism for energy production and biosynthesis. For exam success, you must master the steps, regulation, ATP and NADH yield, aerobic versus anaerobic fate of pyruvate, and the clinical importance of these pathways in tissues such as muscle, liver, and red blood cells.
