MindMap Gallery Basic Overview of Animal Chemistry
Animal chemistry focuses on biomolecules such as proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids that are essential for life processes. Metabolic pathways convert nutrients into energy and biomass through biochemical reactions, including glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation. Processes like cellular respiration and fermentation generate ATP, the energy currency of cells. Regulation of chemical processes involves mechanisms such as enzyme regulation, hormone signaling, and gene expression, which control the rates and directions of biochemical reactions.
