Learning objectives
The aim of this course is:
Know the fundamentals of chemistry necessary for the understanding of living matter and organic compounds of interest for biochemistry;
Know the molecular and biochemical mechanisms that underlie the vital processes and related metabolic activities;
Know the fundamental concepts of physics useful for understanding and interpreting physiological phenomena;
Know the structure and functions of the eukaryotic cell; Know the mechanisms of transmission and expression of genetic information.
Expected learning outcomes
At the end of the course the student:
- will learn the behavior of biologically active molecules, gaining the appreciation of the chemical transformations in the life processes;
- will expose and explain, in a simple but rigorous manner, the chemical and biochemical phenomena or processes that are the basis of life;
- will be able to describe the structure and functions of a cell, including cell-cell communication;
- will be able to explain the content of Mendelian laws, about the transmission of monogenic characters and will know the mechanisms of gene expression and of the transmission of genetic information;
-will be able to provide a physical description of some key physiological processes;
- will understand the connections between chemistry, physic and biology;
- will be able to do exercises based on the fundamental concepts of physics and metrology.
