Course objectives
The aim of the course is to practice the basic metabolic processes taking place at the cellular level.
Learning outcomes
In the end of the course will students:
- understand the properties and function of enzymes
- describes basic catabolic and anabolic pathways of carbohydrate, lipid and protein metabolism
- understand the principles of energy production, utilization and deposition at the cellular level
- explain the function of cell membranes and the transport processes on the membrane
- describe protein synthesis, understand the relationship between protein structure and function
- explain the function of hemoglobin in oxygen transport and maintaining acid-base balance
