BIO 525 - Biochemistry and Cellular Physiology Biochemistry is the discipline which investigates life at the molecular level. The objective of this course is to study and gain insight into the nature of the organic molecules that comprise living organisms. The structure of these molecules will be studied along with their functional significance to the living organism. The reaction pathways in which these molecules participate to make available and utilize energy and to rearrange old and synthesize new molecules will also be studied. The ultimate goal of these studies is to provide a picture of the cell as a functioning chemical system able to interact with other such chemical systems to form an autonomous organism. Students will be required to articulate their knowledge of biochemistry and cellular physiology and develop lesson plans and assigmnents applying the learning standards set forth by the National Science Education Standards (NSES), National Science Teachers Association (NSTA), and New York State. Students will also become familiar with the techniques used in modern biolochemistry research. Lecture Credits: 3 Prerequisite: BIO 510 Offered in the Summer
