Course description
[Summary and Purpose]
The human body is composed of various small molecules and macromolecules that have biochemical functions. The purpose of this lecture is to understand a biochemistry from the basics to the practical use. For example, "eating three times a day", "eating twice a day", and "eating nothing", ...which would be an efficient way to decrease body weight? This can be easily understood by learning the contents of the 11th lecture concerning a basic metabolism.

This course is a part of biology and environmentology classified as specialized basic subjects in the Department of Applied Chemistry.
Expected Learning
To acquire knowledge of biochemistry that is useful in polymer and medicine fields.

For the curriculum policy perspective of this course, please refer to the curriculum map in the Faculty of Engineering Course Guide.
