Course overview
This course aims to equip learners with the knowledge and skills to analyse and effectively understand fundamental biochemistry metabolism. Building upon concepts taught in first-year chemistry and biology, the course delves into the principal processes that underpin energy production and the production of key molecules within the cell. Learners will develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills essential for understanding key principles and scientific data. This course aligns with the program's intent to provide a comprehensive understanding of human metabolism and prepare learners for laboratory-based demonstrations of biochemical principles and concepts.
