Thrugh lectures and labs the curse emphasizes the structural and functinal aspects f cellular chemistry. Tpics include cellular energetics, enzyme kinetics, respiratin, phtsynthesis, membrane transprt, the genetic cde, glycbilgy, lipid bilgy, and prtein bilgy. The labratry exercises emphasize prper experimental techniques, data cllectin and analysis and technical writing skills. Prgram Infrmatin: This curse can be used as either a required curse r an elective in several University Studies Prgrams. It is intended primarily fr secnd-year university transfer students wishing t majr in bilgy r related fields. Delivery: This curse is delivered face t face.
