1. Discuss the importance of ATP in cellular energy transfer processes.
2. Describe the three stages of catabolism of dietary proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids.
3. Discuss glycolysis in terms of its two major segments.
4. Looking at an equation representing any of the chemical reactions that occur in glycolysis, describe the kind of reaction that is occurring and the significance of that reaction to the pathway.
