Course objectives
The aim of the course is to obtain knowledge on essential metabolic processes on the cell level. The course provides the essential knowledge for future understanding of metabolism on organe and inter-organe level and its disturbances.
Learning outcomes
In the end of the course will students:
- understand the properties and function of enzymes
- describes basic catabolic and anabolic pathways of carbohydrate, lipid and protein metabolism, and their relationships
- understand the principles of energy production, utilization and deposition at the cellular level
- explain the function of cell membranes and the transport processes on the membrane
- describe protein synthesis, understand the relationship between protein structure and function
- explain the function of hemoglobin in oxygen transport and maintaining acid-base balance
