^ lol thats exactly what our first biochem test was on last week. The first test was all about nutrition and fuel biochem. We had to know all of that about ketone bodies, pathophys of related disorders like DM and starvation, fuel breakdown, etc., and we still haven’t started getting in depth into the pathways. We’re starting that with glycolosis this Thursday.

And definitely +1 to what BDM said about the undergrad biochem courses being useless. I didn’t take it in undergrad, and all my friends who did don’t really have a leg up on my knowledge-wise. They might have a little bit once we get in depth into the mechanisms this week, but again, we won’t actually have to draw out structures or where electrons go and whatnot.
