Quizzes offered in Weeks 2 and 4, final exam held in Week 6 of Summer School period.. Pre-requisites: Co-requisites: Nil Nil SECTION 2 ACADEMIC DETAILS Subject Rationale The first part of this subject introduces the student to Basic and Organic Chemistry and explores the nature and reactivity of matter. This provides the foundation for the second part Biochemistry which examines the relationship between the structure and function of complex biomolecules. Students will study important aspects of gene expression and mutation, the role of enzymes, coenzymes and cofactors in energy metabolism, and metabolic pathways involving glucose, fatty acid and amino acid providing knowledge of the metabolic processes that occur in human body. This is a foundational subject for later study of nutrition, pharmacology, immunology, herbal medicine and clinical sciences. Learning Outcomes 1. Describe elements, atoms, ions, chemical bonding, chemical reactions, the significance of energy transfer and catalysts in biochemical systems. Australian College of Natural Medicine Pty Ltd (ACNM) trading as Endeavour College of Natural Health Page 1 of 5

2 2. Discuss states of matter, gases, equilibrium, mixtures and solutions and their applications to physiological processes and metabolism. 3. Identify and apply nomenclature and common chemical reactions associated with organic functional groups. 4. Describe the processes associated with DNA replication and gene expression through protein synthesis. 5. Illustrate and analyse the chemical nature of major biochemical groups including carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids. 6. Discuss the major biochemical pathways and relate the knowledge to nutrition and health.
