Learning outcomes: Knowledge: Student defines the concept of biochemical - recognize the protein and nucleic acid - have a basic knowledge of the structure and function of cellular molecules - explains the main tracks of metabolism: sugars, proteins and lipids, overlapping with the participation of relevant enzymes - know kinetic action of enzymes – It can be explained by the integration and the hierarchy of processes of cellular - distinguishes the enzymes, coenzymes and vitamins - distinguish between fractions nucleic acids also replication, transcription translation. Skills: The Student can perform biochemical reactions using pipettes, test tubes and water bath - performs the reactions characteristic of cellular organic compounds - the variability of conditions of enzymes activity- calculates the concentration of sugars, proteins, nucleic acids – estimate enzymes activity -place the support equipment necessary in the workshop of biochemical - It can indicate the factors harmful.
