Book Description | وصف الكتاب

This third edition of “Biochemistry Module – Questions” is meticulously designed for undergraduate medical students. It offers a comprehensive bank of Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) and Short Essay Questions (SEQs), with a dedicated section of SEQs including answers, covering fundamental concepts in human biochemistry. The book is structured to help students easily solve MCQs & Short Essay questions.

The content spans across all foundational biochemical topics, including:

• Cell & Cell membrane (e.g., structure, transport mechanisms)
• Amino acids & Proteins (e.g., structure, classification, protein functions, hemoglobin)
• Enzymes (e.g., classification, mechanism of action, kinetics, regulation, clinical enzymology)
• Vitamins (e.g., classification, functions, deficiency manifestations of water-soluble and fat-soluble vitamins)
• Carbohydrate chemistry & metabolism (e.g., glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, TCA cycle, glycogen metabolism, HMP shunt)
• Lipid chemistry & metabolism (e.g., fatty acid oxidation, ketogenesis, cholesterol metabolism, lipoproteins)
• Integration of metabolism (e.g., metabolic states like starvation, diabetes)
• Molecular biology (e.g., DNA replication, transcription, translation, gene regulation)

Each question is carefully constructed to test understanding of biochemical pathways, molecular mechanisms, and their clinical relevance, preparing students for exam conditions and allowing them to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

Included Features:

• Fully updated to the 3rd Edition (2024).
• Covers both MCQ and Short Essay Question formats (with answers provided for a dedicated section of SEQs).
• Questions categorized by chapter and biochemical topic.
