Lesson Structure
There are 10 lessons in this course:
Introduction - What is metabolism, cell components, energy, ATP, oxidation - reduction.
Glycolysis and Glycogen Metabolism - What is glycolysis, the phases of glycolysis, pyruvate, glycogen and more.
Movement through Membranes - Transport mechanisms, different types of cellular transport.
Electron Transport and Oxidative Phosphorylation - Oxidative phosphorylation, citric acid cycle and more.
Sugar and Polysaccharide Metabolism - Gluconeogenesis, pentose phosphate pathway and more.
Lipid Metabolism - Fatty oxidation including beta oxidation, unsaturated fatty acid oxidation, ketone bodies, biosynthesis of fatty acids and more.
Amino Acid Metabolism - Transamination, amino acid catabolic processes, the urea cycle and biosynthesis.
Nucleotide Metabolism - Synthesis and regulation, nucleotide degradation, purines, nucleotide co-enzymes etc.
Enzyme Activity - Classification and kinetics, regulation etc.
Other Processes - Hormones, neurotransmitters and signal cascades and more.
Each lesson culminates in an assignment which is submitted to the school, marked by the school's tutors and returned to you with any relevant suggestions, comments, and if necessary, extra reading.
