Course Objective

Regulation of basic metabolic cycles and stages live meaningful interpretation systems, correlations between cycles to produce an idea, comment be done, based on living systems, metabolic cycles, energy balance sheets, and regulatory systems and in the process learn about the organic, physical chemistry and analytical chemistry is to be done to relate issues.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Use basic knowledge of metabolism of biomolecules in biochemistry
2   Be able to familiar with the major metabolic pathways taking place in living organisms and the energy relationships involved.
3   Be skilled to interpret biochemical reactions involved in the synthesis and degradation of biological macromolecules
4   Be able to understand the regulatory mechanisms that control the flux through metabolic pathways
5   Understanding of causes, mechanisms and effects of diseases dependent on knowledge of metabolism
6   Recognize the value of importance of biochemistry in everyday life
7   Be able to communicate in both written and oral forms and be able to work successfully in groups both in class room and in the laboratory environment
8   Be prepared to think about the ethical and social implications
