Aims
To provide an introduction to, and make the link between, nutrition, physiology and cellular metabolism in prokaryote and eukaryote cells. In addition, the chemistry which underpins each biochemical process is made clear by making use of worked examples and through practical experiments.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Describe a number of metabolic and synthetic biochemical pathways operating in eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells.
2.
Execute a number of biochemically related laboratory techniques and report on their findings by making reference to the literature.
3.
Exemplify how changes in cellular metabolism can result in disease
4.
Demonstrate an understanding of the use of reference ranges for interpreting a laboratory test result.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:Physiology: selected organs including GI tract, kidney, liver, pancreas.
Biochemical basis of nutrition.
Endocrine function.
Biochemical pathways operating in prokaryotes, eukaryotes (animals and plants) including photosynthesis
Energy balance in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells: Electron transport chain pathway, ATP synthesis, properties of ATP.
Module Overview:
This module enables you to explore the link between, nutrition, physiology and cellular metabolism in prokaryote and eukaryote cells. In addition, the chemistry which underpins each biochemical process is made clear by making use of worked examples and through practical experiments. This module will also introduce you to the concept of cellular metabolism and how nutrition and physiology impact on both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells.
