DESCRIPTION

This course part of many advanced courses such as our many health science advanced diplomas and some horticultural diplomas.

Further develop your knowledge of biochemistry.  Updated  in 2009, this course is designed for people working or wishing to work in a human or animal health or science related profession, as practitioner, educator or researcher. In Biochemistry III (Animal Biochemical Processes) you have the opportunity to learn more about  the metabolic processes comprise all the reactions in an organism that sustain its life. This course focuses on the major metabolic pathways, as well as cellular transport, electron transfer and energy production amongst other.

Suggested Prior Learning: Biochemistry II or equivalent

LESSON STRUCTURE

There are 10 lessons in this course:

  1. Introduction
  2. Glycolysis and Glycogen Metabolism
  3. Movement through Membranes
  4. Electron Transport and Oxidative Phosphorylation
  5. Sugar and Polysaccharide Metabolism
  6. Lipid Metabolism
  7. Amino Acid Metabolism
  8. Nucleotide Metabolism
  9. Enzyme Activity
  10. Other Processes


Each lesson culminates in an assignment which is submitted to the school, marked by the school's tutors and returned to you with any relevant suggestions, comments, and if necessary, extra reading.
