Course Description Biochemistry: The Chemistry of Life explores the structure and role of essential biological molecules focusing on carbohydrate, lipid, nucleic acid and protein chemistry. Biochemistry: The Chemistry of Life is a survey course designed to review general principles of chemistry and biochemistry while relating them back to the physiological conditions of an organism, understanding the chemical and molecular events involved in biological processes. Topics designed in this course include the structure and function of biomolecules, relationship of biochemistry to the physiology of an organism, relationship of bioenergetics to the physiological state of an organism, description of the chemistry underlying metabolic reactions, regulation of metabolic pathways, nutrition and metabolism, enzyme structure and catalysis, DNA, RNA and protein synthesis, and the role of DNA in inheritance.
Delivery Method Prerequisites Successful completion of a full year (or equivalent) of biology Course Materials Java is required for students to complete Molecular Workbench activities to visualize and manipulate molecules. Students will also need to view a number of YouTube videos throughout the course, as well as access to a digital camera/scanner. |
