SYNOPSIS FOR BIOCHEMISTRY (BILINGUAL) 《生物化学》双语教学大纲 Course ID: 610020168 Course Name: Bilingual Biochemistry 生物化学（双语） Total Periods: 63; Lectures: 63; Credit: 3.5 Intended Major: Biology, Biotechnology and Bioengineering ⅠThe Nature, Status and Task of This Course Biochemistry may be considered as the description of life at the molecular level. The chemical and physical nature of structures and functions within living cells is studied. This course allows students to develop an understanding of the major classes of biochemical compounds found in living organisms and the metabolism of these compounds. Study of biochemistry is central to studies in biology, and in particular is related to plant and mammalian physiology, microbiology, genetics, cell biology and molecular biology. A series of practical classes is integrated with the lectures to allow students to further develop concepts covered in the lectures, and also to become familiar with use of materials and equipment commonly used in biochemistry laboratories. Ⅱ Objectives On completion of this course students will be able to: (1) demonstrate a knowledge of the major classes of biochemical compounds, including carbohydrates, lipids and proteins; (2) understand and describe the action of enzymes and their application in the metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids and proteins; (3) demonstrate familiarity with the integration of metabolic pathways in an organism; (4) demonstrate an awareness of the different metabolic processes which occur in different species (including animals, plants and microorganisms); (5) demonstrate an awareness of the applications of biochemistry in contemporary science, particularly in biotechnology; (6) demonstrate familiarity wi...
