生物化學 (D-8502-01355)
Semester: Spring, 2011
Class: Monday, 10:10-12:00, LH101 Instructor: Dr. Hsieh and Dr. Tsai
Text book: Nelson, D. L. and Cox, M. M. 2008. Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry, 5th ed. W. H. Freeman and Company. New York, NY., USA.
Course Description:
Biochemistry is a 3-semester series courses with emphasis on structure and catalysis, bioenergetic and metabolism and information pathway, designed to meet the needs of students in department of Food Science. In second semester, the course explores the bioenergetics and metabolism in cells. This course provides the linkage between the inanimate world of chemistry and the living world of biology.
Expected Learning Outcomes:
At the end of the course the student will be able to -
1. Gain general understanding the biochemistry, cell biology and molecular biology.
2. Describe the molecular and functional organization of a cell and list its subcellular components.
3. Delineate structure, function and interrelationship of biomolecules and consequences.
4. Develop the biochemical knowledge of current issues associated with food.
5. Familiarize with biotechnology, career opportunities and preparation requirements in Food Science.
