Course description |
Biological Chemistry ( Biochemistry ) focuses life from the point of view of chemistry. It is a basic science to understand life. Whole life ( Animals, Plants, Microbes ) consists of cell(s). The cell activities are important to maintain life, those contain taking nutrition, excretion of wastes, intracellular metabolism and cell-cell communication. Those phenomena are able to understand by chemistry. In this lecture, the basic 4 contents of the cell are learned. These are Amino acids, Carbohydrates, Lipids and Nucleic acids. Those maybe help to understand the cell and life. |
Expected Learning |
Learners who successfully complete this lecture will be able to 1.Know the basic Taxonomy of life 2.Understand the 4 kinds of biomolecules to form the cell 3.Notice the importance of chemistry for understanding life Review the lecture as soon as possible is important to understand this subject rather than preparation. Corresponding criteria in the Diploma Policy: See the Curriculum maps. |
