Course objectives
Biochemistry for bacherols follows secondary school chemistry and broadens the subject considerably to the level required for the study of successive subjects. After the completition of the subject student will understand physico-chemical processes important for biological systems, will know the structures and names biochemically important inorganic and organic compounds and explain their significance. Decribes the structure and properties of saccharides, lipids, steroids, amino acids, proteins, nucleotides and nucleic acids. Explains the metabolism of nutrients and its regulation.Understands how energy is generated, used, and stored by the various organs of the body.Describes the biochemical proceses typical for main organs and tissues in the body.

Literature
Teaching methods
Teaching form are lectures, 2 hours per week.
Assessment methods
The course is concluded by the oral examination.Examination is composed of two parts. First part is a simple test on a computer, the second part is oral.The test includes 25 basal questions from the whole content of the recommended book, including chapters 1-4, calculations of concentration, pH and osmolarity. Only those students who gain 13 correct answers at a minimum will be permitted to sit for the oral examination.The model test is available on IS MUNI in the ROPOT section. List of questions and other instructions you will find in the section Study materials of the course.
Language of instruction
