    Study Notes

    Biochemistry 1 For Technologists

    • Biochemistry and Molecular Biology department, Faculty of Medicine, Menoufia University, 2024-2025
    • Course covers metabolism, including carbohydrate, lipid, and protein metabolism.

    Metabolism

    • Chemical energy (carbohydrates, fats, proteins, others) is the body's energy currency (ATP).
    • Chemical waste (carbon dioxide, water) is generated.
    • Heat is produced.

    Table Content (Page 1 details)

    • Overall aims of the course.
    • Learning objectives for each chapter. (Carbohydrate, Lipid, and Protein metabolism)
    • Different metabolic pathways.
    • Blood glucose regulation and related issues (hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, and glucosuria).
    • Revision questions.
