1.	For metabolism in multicellular organisms to proceed efficiently, it is important that the final products be gases, water, or both. Why? 
 
To maintain metabolism in a steady state, there must be no possibility of a build–up of final products. The easiest disposal products are the multicellular organism’s universal solvent, gases, or both. 
 
2.	Look at the two starred reactions in the lesson just covered (the redox reactions involving NADH and O2). Compare the tendency of NADH to donate ...

Chapter 8 provides an extensive overview of the roles of the neurotransmitters glutamate and GABA in the central nervous system. It delves into these neurotransmitters' synthesis, release, and inactivation processes, emphasizing their critical functions in excitatory and inhibitory neural transmission, respectively. The chapter highlights the mechanisms of excitotoxicity caused by excessive glutamate stimulation, which can lead to neuronal damage and death. This phenomenon is implicated in vari...

Chapter 7 on acetylcholine provides a comprehensive overview of the role and mechanisms of this essential neurotransmitter. It discusses the synthesis of acetylcholine (ACh) by the enzyme choline acetyltransferase from choline and acetyl coenzyme A and how its production is influenced by precursor availability and neuronal activity. The chapter also covers the storage and release of ACh in synaptic vesicles and the impact of various drugs and toxins on these processes, highlighting the effects o...

Chapter 5 focuses on catecholamines, a group of neurotransmitters that include dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine. The chapter begins by discussing the synthesis of catecholamines, outlining the multi-step biochemical pathways that convert tyrosine to dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine. It emphasizes the role of specific enzymes, such as tyrosine hydroxylase, which catalyzes the rate-limiting step in catecholamine synthesis. The regulation of these synthetic pathways is also covere...
