This lecture covers the two main processes of metabolism: catabolism and anabolism, which respectively involve the degradation and synthesis of cellular compounds. It delves into the energy balance associated with hydrolysis reactions, the citric acid cycle, aerobic and anaerobic respiration, and the production of ATP. The instructor explains the glycolysis pathway, the oxidation of pyruvate, and the diverse pathways for catabolizing proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. Additionally, the lecture explores the electron transport chain, oxidative phosphorylation, and the role of ATP synthase in generating ATP through chemiosmosis.
