This study guide covers all of Dr. Sata's 311C unit 3 test material. It is very visual, including color coded diagrams, venn diagrams, and graphs to depict different concepts. It includes a comparison of exergonic and endergonic reactions, the laws of thermodynamics explained, and the Gibbs free energy concept. It includes the factors affecting and regulating enzymatic activity and the importance of enzymes and ATP. It also includes detailed diagrams of all the steps of cellular respiration and photosynthesis (including all the first committed steps and key regulatory steps that Dr. Sata requires you know for his tests).Furthermore, it includes a table of the inputs and outputs of these reactions and where they come from and go to. It also details light-dependent reactions, including variations of the calvin cycle. Finally, it includes details on lipid metabolism, explaining the cell structures involved and differentiating fats and steroid metabolism.
