CHEM 3520 - Biochemistry II

Institution:

Utah Tech University

Subject:

Chemistry

Description:

Continuation of Biochemistry I. Introduction into catabolic and anabolic processes of animal and plant metabolism. Includes protein and nucleic acid biosynthesis and signal transduction. Discussion of current biochemical methods. **COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLOs) At the successful conclusion of this course, students will be able to: 1. Identify the molecules involved in the major biochemical metabolic pathways such as glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, citrate cycle, respiratory electron transport system, etc. 2. Explain the reactions and recognize rate-regulatory steps involved in the aforementioned pathways. 3. Discuss the origin of mitochondria and their essential role in oxidative phosphorylation. 4. Analyze the energy yield from the catabolism of any compound. 5. Explain how a membrane is synthesized by the incorporation of monoacyglycerols and their modifications and the synthesis and degradation of fatty acids mirror each other in their chemical reactions.
