- Key enzyme in glycolysis is phosphofructokinase
- The non carbohydrate portion of a glycoside is called aglycone
- Sucrose is also called invert sugar
- A membrane that allows the solvent molecule to pass but does not allow the passage of solute    
   molecule is called semipermeable membrane
- Cholesterol inhibits cholesterol synthesis in the liver by inhibition of HMG-CoA reductase
- Km is Michaelis constant
- Km is defined in terms of substrate concentration
- Low Km value is preferred because at low substrate concentration, maximum velocity is achieved.
- Pulses are deficient in aminoacid lysine
- Animal proteins are called first class proteins
- Vegetable proteins are second class proteins
- SDA stands for specific Dynamic Action
- SDA of proteins is 30%
- BMR is low during hypothyroidism and starvation
- Epinephrine is a methylated form and norepinephrine is nonmethylated form
