Biochemistry is at the base of most health sciences, prepare yourself for your health science career by studing biochemistry. Biochemistry I (Animal) is an introductory course to biochemistry. This course is similar to Biochemistry I (Plants) with a focus on animal biochemistry. Biochemistry provides the knowledge base for all human and animals health studies. In order to help you get the most out of the course we initially walk you throught the fundamentals of chemistry including atomic structure, the periodic table, molecules, nomenclature, organic chemistry and more before investigating common organic compounds such as carbohydrates, lipids and more. Lessons cover: introduction to biochemistry, lipids, proteins, enzymes, nucleic acids, thermo regulation, carbohydrate metabolism, absorption, acidity, alkalinity, chemical analysis, and industry applications. Prerequisite: Some secondary school chemistry will be helpful though it is not essential. There are 10 lessons in this course: Introduction To Biochemistry The basics; atoms, chemical bonds, molecules The Periodic Table Parts of a Molecule Common chemical groups Using these groups Arrangement of atoms in a molecule Chemical Nomenclature Hydrocarbons Aromaticity Organisms and Organic Compounds Biochemical Processes in the cell Lipids and Proteins Carbohydrates; types Hydrolysis Carbohydrate Function Lipids Fatty Acids Triglycerides Phospholipids Terminology Commercially useful fats and lipids Proteins Functional Categorisation of Proteins Proteins in the human diet Enzymes and Hormones Classification of hormones Endocrine Glands Enzyme activation Enzyme deactivation Digestion Digestive Enzymes Digestive Hormones Enzyme PBL Project Nucleic Acids Scope Nucleotide Structure RNA DNA ATP ADP Thermo-regulation Raising temperature Lowering Temperature Effect of Temperature on Enzymes Sweat Glands Energy Production Individual BMR Fever Carbohydrate Metabolism Glycogenesis Glycogenolysis Gluconeogenesis Hyperglycaemia Hypoglycaemia Carbohydrate Oxidation Glycolysis Citric Acid Cycle Anaerobic Respiration Carbohydrate Storage Absorption of Carbohydrates Carbohydrates in Mammals Comparing Energy Pathways The Urea Cycle Absorption Digestion Digestive Enzymes Chemical Digestion Absorption Peristalsis Gastric, Pancreatic and Intestinal Juices Acidity and Alkalinity pH Measuring pH Buffers Animal Acid Base Balance Acidosis and Alkalosis Mammalian Buffer Systems Role of Renal System in Acid Base Balance Chemical Analysis Biochemical Testing Concentration testing Moles and Molarity Chromatography Spectrophotometry Analysis of Biomolecules DNA Composition RNA Composition Protein Composition Titration Biochemical Applications Environmental and Agricultural Testing Medical Science Poisons/Toxins Cell Structure
