Biochemistry

A short description of some of the more important functional groups in organic chemistry, with two nice diagrams to show you some of them.

Organisms derive the majority of their energy from the Kreb's Cycle, also known as the TCA cycle. The Kreb's Cycle is an aerobic process consisting of eight definite steps. In order to enter the Kreb's Cycle pyruvate must first be converted into Acetyl-CoA by pyruvate dehydrogenase complex found in the mitochondria.

The body utilizes its metabolic pathways differently during fasting and starvation states and the more comfortable fed state. Learn more here.

Biology: Flow Chart for Cellular Respiration Complete respiration flow-chart Cellular respiration from glycolysis to the Krebs cycle, including co-enzymes and ATP production. Steps of cellular respiration Cellular respiration is a metabolic pathway that breaks down glucose and produces ATP. The stages of cellular respiration include glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, the citric acid or Krebs cycle, and
