1 Western Governors University 2 Hereditary Fructose Intolerance Metabolism is the process of cellular respiration. It involves three steps‚ 1) glycolysis‚ 2) the citric acid or Krebs cycle and 3) electron transport system. The glycolytic pathway or glycolysis is a metabolic process that leads to the formation of the energy source adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in the body. ATP is essential to the cell and the cellular processes used by the cell. The first step‚ glycolysis is the process

Organic chemistry Organic chemistry is one of the ‘branches’ of chemistry and is seen as distinct from other branches‚ such as inorganic and physical chemistry. It can be described as the chemistry living processes (often referred to as biochemistry) but extends beyond that. It focuses almost entirely on the chemistry of covalently bonded carbon molecules and as well as life processes‚ it includes the chemistry of other types of compounds‚ including plastics‚ petrochemicals‚ drugs and paint
