BIO 252 - CELLULAR PHYSIO / METABOL

Institution:

Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Biology

Description:

This course examines how living things function at the cellular and molecular level, particularly how organisms obtain and utilize energy to sustain themselves. Emphasis will be placed on the structure and metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids, and nitrogen-containing biomolecules, such as proteins, amino acids, nucleic acids and nucleotides. Energy transducing cellular processes, such as glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, electron transport system, oxidative phosphorylation, gluconeogenesis, and the pentose phosphate pathway, will be covered in detail. The interrelationships of the metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, amino acids, and other nitrogen-containing biomolecules will be emphasized.
