PAU contents
- General scheme and purpose of metabolism.
- Glycolysis: location and global interpretation of the process. (Recognize the metabolic pathway in a diagram, although they do not have to learn the specific reactions and molecules).
- The Krebs cycle: localization and global interpretation of the process. (Recognize the metabolic pathway in a diagram, although they do not have to learn the specific reactions and molecules).
- Respiratory chain and oxidative phosphorylation: localization and global interpretation of the process. (Recognize the process in a diagram). Oxidative phosphorylation: general idea of how ATPase works (the difference in proton concentration drives ATP synthesis).
- Fermentation. Alcoholic and lactic fermentation and its industrial applications.
- Overall energy performance of respiration and fermentation (comparison only).
In order to identify metabolic pathways in a scheme, it is recommended that the names of the initial and final compounds of the major pathways are known.
The electronic transporter schemes will be of a biological nature, at the membrane level, and without the need to identify their elements.
