Course Description Course Name : Biochemistry Course Code : BKP108 Course Type : Compulsory Level of Course : First Cycle Year of Study : 1 Course Semester : Spring (16 Weeks) ECTS : 3 Name of Lecturer(s) : Prof.Dr. NÜKET ÖNELGE Learning Outcomes of the Course : The plant cell and its components Plant bıochemistry and importance of metabolism The mechanizm of cell energy and enzymes The formation and destruction of bio-organic compounds in plants, and their energy shift Plant carbohydrates, fatty acids, nucleic acids, amino acids, structure, function, synthesis and destruction will be learns Mode of Delivery : Face-to-Face Prerequisites and Co-Prerequisites : None Recommended Optional Programme Components : None Aim(s) of Course : Today biochemistry is interdisciplinary of science., especially in agriculture and the plant chemist and up bıiyologlar understand the events of the metabolism of living organisms provides employees. In this course, people who work in the field of agricultural plant cell biochemistry will be needed in order to understand pathological events. Course Contents : Students will know the chemical structures and chemistry of biological polymers (proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and nucleic acids) and their monomers (amino acids, sugars, fatty acids and other lipid monomers, and nucleotides) as well as the roles of these biological molecules in living cells. Students will know the reactions of major metabolic pathways (Central Metabolism: Glycolysis-Gluconeogenesis, Pentosephosphate Patthway, Citric Acid Cycle, Respiratory Electron Transport System ) and be able to analyze the regulation of these pathways.
