Biochemistry III - Plant Processes

Overview

This Biochemistry III - Plant Processes course from Warnborough College is an advanced course on biochemistry that will give you a deep understanding on how life processes work, where living organism obtain their energy and nutrients and how these are processed to renew and develop new living materials. Prerequisites: Biochemistry I and II or equivalent knowledge.

Aims

• Explain the interaction between the various biochemical processes within the plant cell

• Explain the process of glycolysis.

• Describe the transport mechanism of bio-chemicals through plant membranes.

• Explain the processes of electron transfer and oxidative phosphorylation, and their importance to energy regulation in plants.

• Explain the structure and metabolism of carbohydrates

• Explain the metabolism of lipids.

• Explain the processes of photosynthesis and the role of the light and dark reactions of photosynthesis in the growth of plants.

• Explain biochemical nucleotide metabolism.

• Explain enzyme reactions and catalysis in biochemistry.

• Explain metabolic processes relevant to reproduction in plants.

• Explain other biochemical processes including biochemical communication through hormones.
