Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives: In this courses where the chemical reactions occurring in living organisms are studied; the metabolic events in which the biomolecules like proteins, carbohydrates and lipids take place and their interactions with each other will be explained to the students. It is also aimed to gain the competencies related to metabolism, to establish some relationships with biochemistry in the professional field and to gain the ability to evaluate them as a whole.
Course Content: It is the functioning of the main metabolic pathways of the organism in a healthy state and raising awareness about pathological conditions in daily life.
