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.
Course Description:
At the end of the course the student will be able to - Expected Learning Outcomes:
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.
The final grade will be based on fulfilling the following course requirements:
