What knowledge of you connected with past knowledge

In my physiology class we talked a lot about how metabolism works in the body and how important it is to have a balanced diet so that metabolic process can work properly. It provides the needed energy and nutrition to maintain cells, tissues, organs, and sustain optimal growth and development. Having a well-balanced diet involves eating foods in healthy proportions from all food groups. Fats, carbohydrates, protein, vitamins, fiber, and mineral salts, each of these nutrients are vital pieces in the function of the human body. A balanced diet helps maintain a good supply of nutrients which in turn keeps the body metabolism working properly.
Taking this knowledge and applying it in biochemistry has been very beneficial in understanding metabolic processes. We touched base on the steps of glycolysis, TCA cycle and the electron chain transport in Physiology but not as in depth as we did in biochemistry. Understanding how different enzymes catalyze different reactions within each step has helped in understanding the big picture.
Biochemistry has also helped further my knowledge of hormones, steroids and other molecules are used in the body. I already knew what they did but what I didn’t know is how they are formed. Now I know at a molecular level how they are formed thanks to biochemistry.
