Lecture 8 - Carbohydrate Metabolism
Carbohydrate metabolism, both catabolism and anabolism, form the central core for all of metabolism; the degradation and synthesis of most of the other biological molecules feed into, and out of, this central core of reactions. For this reason, we will place a major emphasis on studying these core reactions. These are grouped into several series, or pathways of reactions, including glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, the pentose phosphate pathway, the citric acid cycle, and the electron transport chain along with oxidative phosphorylation.
