Biochemistry (211) is a 4 hours credit with 3 lectures/week and 1hour laboratory session.

It is an intensive course and laboratory course that focuses on carbohydrates and lipids digestion,

different pathways for synthesis and degradation of carbohydrates (such as metabolism of

 glucose, fructose disaccharides and polysaccharides) as well as the synthesis and degradation

of fats ( such as neutral fatty acids, cholesterol) and the synthesis of the lipoproteins ( classes

and clinical disorders), bile acids and bile salts and diseases associated with carbohydrates and

lipids metabolism.

Course objectives 

  This course is designed for undergraduate student to know:

 1- Definition of the metabolism.  

2- Investigation of carbohydrates and lipid metabolism pathways in human body.

3- To describe the difference between the anabolism and catabolism in both carbohydrates and

     lipids pathways

4- To understand the sequence of enzymes, mechanism of reactions and metabolites in the

     major metabolic pathways.

5- To understand how that the various pathways are integrated.

6- Describe the structural features of each of the functional groups and different cofactors.

7- Description of the diseases associated with carbohydrates and lipids metabolism disorders.

8- Understanding the basic laboratory aspects of some body fluids function working

     individually and in small groups.

9- The student became an independent learner, able to continue to grow as a student of science.
