Aims

By the end of the module, students should understand the essential notions in general chemistry and should know the structure and properties of the principal biomolecules underlying human physiology. This knowledge is required for the further understanding of cell biology, biochemistry and exercice physiology. Moreover, it will be helpful in justifying professional educational and re-educational actions.

Main themes

The major themes are :

- atomic and molecular structure of the living matter
- fundamental principles for the transformation of the living matter
