Course intention within the general study plan context: |
|||||
This is a basic course which will review the biochemical bases that explain metabolic processes and homeostasis in humans. It is intended that students identify the characteristics of anabolic and catabolic reactions, the control mechanisms of metabolic reactions and the interplay between them. In addition, students will compare aerobic metabolism with anaerobic metabolism in terms of obtaining energy and energy efficiency. The course requires knowledge of general chemistry and cell biology. As a result of learning, students will produce conceptual maps in which they link the metabolic pathways related to real or simulated problems. |
|||||
Course objective: |
|||||
Upon completion of this course, students will have acquired knowledge about the biochemical processes related to the human metabolism, enabling them to understand how the systems in the human organism work. Students will be able to relate chemical reactions to the generation of energy, biomolecule degradation or synthesis, and waste elimination processes. | |||||
