Annotation -
The course focuses on basic biochemical topics covering the composition of living matter, main nutrients (sugar, fats, proteins), their metabolism (glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, beta-oxidation of fatty acids, lipogenesis, ornithine cycle, Krebs cycle and cellular respiration). In addition, attention is paid to proteosynthesis, the structure and function of nucleic acids, polarization/depolarization of the plasma membrane with regard to conduction of excitation, events on the neuromuscular plate and muscle contraction. Attention is also paid to biologically active substances such as vitamins, antioxidants and signaling molecules.

Aim of the course -

The aim of the course is primarily to get acquainted with and acquire theoretical knowledge in the field of the basics of biochemistry:

Key knowledge and skills:

1/ composition of living matter

2/ main nutrients - sugars, fats, proteins - their distribution and characteristics

3/ metabolic transformations of the main nutrients (glycolysis, beta-oxidation, Krebs cycle, cellular respiration...)

4/ proteosynthesis (principle, meaning, sequence, inclusion within the cell)

5/ nucleic acids (structure, function, meaning)

6/ polarization/depolarization of the plasma membrane, transmission of excitement, events on the neuromuscular plate and muscle contraction

7/ biologically active substances (vitamins, antioxidants, signaling molecules)
