About Study Course
Objective
To provide knowledge about the molecular basis of the human body's existence, considering metabolic processes as the most important prerequisite for life, the regulation of these processes, and changes in cases of pathology. Understanding the energetic and chemical justification of homeostasis processes.
Prerequisites
Chemistry, biology, and physics at the secondary level.
Learning outcomes
1.As a result of the study course, the student acquires theoretical knowledge about bioenergetic processes in the body - the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins, as well as knows the metabolic process. Students integrate prior knowledge of nutrient catabolism and gain a detailed understanding of the basic principles of biochemical regulation.
1.The student will be able to use the theoretical knowledge acquired in the study course in practice, explaining the processes taking place in the body - the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins as a unified transformation system in obtaining energy. Students will be able to compare and evaluate the importance of carbohydrate catabolism (aerobic and anaerobic glycolysis) and anabolism (glycogenolysis, gluconeogenesis); the role of fats and lipids in metabolism; the role of essential and non-essential amino acids in energy production and synthesis of protein molecules. The biochemical terminology acquired in the study course can be used in the study of scientific literature.
1.The student will be able to independently apply the acquired knowledge in further professional work and research. Will be able to discuss the course of metabolism with specialists and non-specialists.
