Prerequisites

The prerequisite(s) for this Teaching Unit (Unité d’enseignement – UE) for the programmes/courses that offer this Teaching Unit are specified at the end of this sheet.
Main themes
Main themes to cover :
1. Introduction to metabolism
2. Bioenergetics
3. Biochemical transport phenomenon

Main metabolic ways :
1. Glycolysis and hexose catabolism
2. Metabolism of glycogen and glyconeogenesis
3. Oxidation of fatty acids and biosynthesis of lipids
4. Krebs cycle
5. Electron transport, oxidative phosphorylation
6. Metabolism of amino acids, nucleotides and linked molecules.
Main ways of regulation.

The exercises are divided into two complementary parts :
One, followed in the case of CHIM BAC, consists of practical work on a specific question in biochemistry.
The other, for all, consists of preparing, presenting and discussing, in groups, a question linked to a biochemical problem, but voluntarily carrying onto other disciplines of life sciences.
Content
Please look to LCHM1371 for all the information concerning this course.
Teaching methods
The skills targeted by the course will be developed using lectures. 
Laboratory sessions are for chemistry and biology students, and not for students in veterinary science.
Evaluation methods
For all students, evaluation includes :
1. a written exam that will take place during the June exam session. Written exam including questions requiring precise / short answers, theoretical developments or problem solving.
2. group work, the exam type decided each year, but this can include a group presentation, this evaluation will take place during the normal term
For chemistry and biology students :
1. they will also be evaluated on their participation in laboratory sessions, in which a written report is required for the completion of the evaluation.
Online resources
Slideshows are available via the moodle platform
