|---|---|---|
| 1 | Carbohydrate Metabolism – Aerobic & Anaerobic glycolysis, sequence of reactions
in glycolysis, regulation in glycolysis, citric acid cycle, glycogenesis, glycogenolysis
(sequence of reactions & regulation), Pentose-phosphate pathway (sequence of
reactions & regulation), extraction of energy from food sources. Lipid Metabolism – Structures and roles of Fatty acids &Glycerols, beta oxidation of saturated fatty acids, oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids, oxidation of odd chain fatty acids, energy yield, ketone bodies |

| 2 | Amino acid Metabolism – Amino acid breakdown (amino acid deamination, Urea
cycle, metabolic breakdown of individual amino acids – glucogenic&ketogenic amino
acids), amino acids as biosynthetic precursors (haem biosynthesis & degradation,
biosynthesis of epinephrine, dopamine, seretonin, GABA, histamin, glutathione);
biosynthesis of essential & non-essential amino acids. Nucleotide Metabolism – biosynthesis of purine & pyrimidine (de novo & salvage pathway); degradation of purine & pyrimidine. |
