This course part of many advanced courses such as our many health science advanced diplomas and some horticultural diplomas
Further develop your knowledge of biochemistry. Recently updated (2009), this course is designed for people working or wishing to work in a human or animal health or science related profession, as practitioner, educator or researcher. In Biochemistry III (Animal Biochemical Processes) you have the opportunity to learn more about the metabolic processes comprise all the reactions in an organism that sustain its life. This course focuses on the major metabolic pathways, as well as cellular transport, electron transfer and energy production amongst other.
Suggested Prior Learning: Biochemistry II or equivalent
