INTRODUCTORY BIOCHEMISTRY MODULE

Aim
To introduce students in the first year of the physiotherapy and podiatry courses to the principles of chemical reactions occurring in living systems. A self test panel of multiple choice questions is accessible at the bottom of this page.

 

Objectives
At the completion of this module students should be able to describe the chemical principles underlying all chemical systems and recognise the major groups of molecules encountered in biology. In addition students should be able to describe the processes involved in the synthesis and expression of the genetic material of cells.
