The study of chemical processes within animals and their interactions with the environment.
The macromolecules of life: This topic covers the four major types of macromolecules (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids) that are essential for life.
Enzymes: Enzymes are proteins that catalyze biochemical reactions in living organisms. Understanding how they work is crucial to understanding many biochemical processes.
Metabolism: This topic covers the chemical reactions that occur in living organisms and how food is broken down and converted into energy.
Cellular Respiration: This process produces energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) from food molecules.
Photosynthesis: This is the process by which plants produce oxygen and glucose from carbon dioxide and water, using energy from sunlight.
Biosynthesis: This topic covers the process by which new molecules are synthesized within living organisms.
Protein Synthesis: This is the process by which proteins are made within living organisms.
Gene Expression: This topic covers how the information encoded in DNA is used to produce proteins.
Bioenergetics: This is the study of the energy flow in living organisms, including energy storage, transfer, and release.
Membrane Transport: This covers the process by which molecules move across cell membranes.
Enzyme Kinetics: This topic covers the rate at which enzymes catalyze biochemical reactions.
Biochemical Analyses: This topic covers the techniques used to analyze and measure biochemical molecules and processes.
Nutrition: This topic covers the nutrients that are essential for animal health and how they are metabolized.
Animal Metabolism: This covers the processes by which animals obtain and use energy from food.
Carbohydrate Metabolism: This topic covers how carbohydrates are metabolized in living organisms.
Lipid Metabolism: This covers how lipids are metabolized in living organisms.
Protein Metabolism: This covers how proteins are metabolized in living organisms.
