About the Course

Everyone knows that energy is essential for sustaining life. How can you define energy in life? Have ever thought about ways of how carbohydrates like glucose from your diet can be used for extracting energy? A scientific field that focuses on energy production and flow though living cells and organisms is called bioenergetics. Energy metabolism covers various biochemical ways of energy transformation and regulatory mechanisms of over thousands chemical reactions. Without fine control of those metabolic processes, cells and organisms cannot maintain activities linked to life. This 7 week-course will give you a clear introduction to the basic fundamentals of energy metabolism. We will first establish the concept of energy metabolism and subsequently examine biochemical steps involved in energy production from glucose oxdiation as well as glucose synthesis via photosynthesis. We will also learn about metabolic reactions related to fat as well as regulatory actions among different organs. Finally, dysregulated energy metabolism in pathological conditions such as diabetes and cancer will be discussed. Everyone knows that energy is essential for sustaining life.

I found this to be a very interesting course and the slides used in each session were informative and of high quality. I didn't purchase the course, so I wasn't able to do any of the quizzes because they were only available to those who had upgraded. Usually, Coursera courses include "free" quizzes as well as the paid ones, so this is a slight negative for me, hence I have scored it 4 stars rather than the 5 stars that it deserves based on the lectures themselves.

A very nice introduction to the field for biochemistry. The course focus on reaction pathways and energetics in biochemistry for process relate to living things, this is only some part of biochemistry as it is not the focus of the course to discuss about structural biochemistry, but it is a great intro course that will help get via in advance biochemical studies and other advance subjects.

It was something new to add to my knowledge, though most information I accumulated in high school as I am still a student, but in my native language. This course helped me learn new words up to an extended vocabulary in the field.

I wish we had some reading materials to accompany the lectures. I also wish the course covered fructose metabolism. Otherwise, it was a good and well-structured introduction to biochemistry. Thank you!

It was really helpful. Most of the things that were taught in this course i already new, but I also learned new things and it made me to study them more.

Not as challenging as I thought. Doesn't really go over metabolic cycle for vitamins.

The videos do not flow (many pauses, repetitions), there are several annoying sounds in the background and the intonation is flat. The content seems quite interesting and with the right level, however, I can not keep watching the videos.
