Why Study this Biochemistry Plants and Animals Course

This online biochemistry plants and animal course will help you; become familiar in the different laboratory techniques used in biochemistry, distinguish the different groups of biochemical molecules, and help explain the structure of proteins, nucleic acids, enzymes, vitamins, and hormones. This course will also teach you characteristics and properties to differentiate amino acids, the composition of lipids and membranes, and the common protein dynamics.

 

Biochemistry Online Course – Home Study

  • learn about the chemical behaviour of molecules via home learning
  • improve your knowledge of these molecules as a foundation to better understanding the biochemical reactions they become involved in (covered in Biochemistry III).
  • supportive and flexible learning in your own home
  • possible credit toward university course

What are Biochemical molecules?

In addition to carbon, most organic compounds contain hydrogen, and most contain oxygen as well. The atoms of these elements are arranged in various forms to make up most of the dry weight of living organisms. The four main types of biochemical molecules are proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and nucleic acid. Other important molecules for metabolism regulation are hormones and neurotransmitters which are made up of different protein, carbohydrate, lipid and nucleic acid combinations.
