Full Description
This exam focuses on the biochemical pathways involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids. Candidates will articulate the key enzymatic reactions and regulatory mechanisms governing each macronutrient's metabolism.
Understanding these metabolic pathways is critical in nutrition science as they directly influence energy balance and overall health outcomes. Knowledge of enzymatic functions and regulatory proteins is essential for addressing metabolic disorders.
The exam will assess the candidates' ability to verbally explain the processes involved in macronutrient metabolism, including glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, and the Krebs cycle, demonstrating a clear understanding of their interconnections and regulatory factors.
Candidates should prepare to discuss specific enzymes, their roles in metabolism, and how nutritional imbalances can affect health.
Sample Questions
- What are the main steps of glycolysis and their significance in metabolism?
- How do hormonal changes affect the regulation of macronutrient metabolism?
