Course description
Human and other higher organisms are composed of multicellular cells, and life activities are maintained by integrating the function of each cell.
Molecules that make up cells, such as proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, etc., are a kind of chemical substances. In addition, intracellular and intercellular communication of information is a chemical reaction.
In biochemistry II, students learn the connection between chemical reactions and life phenomena based on the knowledge of biochemistry I.
In addition, the student knows what kind of diseases the cellular or metabolic breakdown will lead to, mysteries of normal life phenomena.
Purpose of class
To understand that life activities are supported by bioenergetic energy, students acquire basic knowledge on life phenomena by understanding energy metabolism including central metabolism and genes that are programs of life.
Goals and objectives
  1. Explain important metabolic pathways in living organisms.
  2. Explain the maintenance / expression mechanism of genetic information.
  3. Explain the intracellular and intercellular signaling mechanism.
  4. Explain the relationship between cellular response and disease.
Language
