四、课程的性质、目标和任务

The Nature, Status and Task of This Course

Plant Physiology and Biochemistry may be considered as the description of life at the molecular level. The chemical and physical nature of structures and functions within living cells is studied. This course allows students to develop an understanding of the major classes of biochemical compounds found in living organisms and the metabolism of these compounds. Study of biochemistry is central to studies in biology, and in particular is related to plant and mammalian physiology, microbiology, genetics, cell biology and molecular biology. A series of practical classes is integrated with the lectures to allow students to further develop concepts covered in the lectures, and also to become familiar with use of materials and equipment commonly used in biochemistry laboratories.

五、课程的基本要求

The Objectives of This Course

On completion of this course students will be able to:

(1) demonstrate a knowledge of the major classes of biochemical compounds,

including carbohydrates, lipids and proteins;

(2) understand and describe the action of enzymes and their application in the metabolism of

carbohydrates, lipids and proteins;

(3) demonstrate familiarity with the integration of metabolic pathways in an organism;

(4) demonstrate an awareness of the different metabolic processes which occur

in different species (including animals, plants and microorganisms);

(5) demonstrate an awareness of the applications of biochemistry in

contemporary science, particularly in biotechnology;

(6) demonstrate familiarity with a range of laboratory techniques used to

identify, quantify and study biochemical substances;

(7) carry out simple qualitative biochemical tests, and quantitative reliably a

range of common biochemical substances in biological specimens;

(8) improve the students’ abilities in reading and understanding biochemical

language so that they can function smoothly in further (postgraduate) studies;

(9) build up necessary biochemical terminologies for their future easy

consulting of related researching publications;

(10) and the last but not the least, improve their proficiencies in general English.
