Trefnydd: Dr Christopher Staples

This module will provide a grounding in key aspects of biochemistry, molecular and cellular biology that will underpin later learning in physiology, medical genetics, cell biology and therapeutics. The aim is to introduce important reaction cycles within the human body, the structure and roles of nucleic acids and key concepts of cellular organisation and function.

The module will cover the key molecules and pathways involved in metabolism, cell division and protein expression within the human body, showing the relationships between these processes and the differences in distinct tissues. The important role of enzymes in the control of biochemical pathways will be introduced, as will an introduction to cell signalling.

trothwy

Threshold D- to D+ (40 – 49%) Student demonstrates basic factual information largely based on teaching notes. Key principles are generally accurate but with some errors or gaps in knowledge and understanding.

C- i C+

Satisfactory C- to C+ (50 – 59%) Student demonstrates reasonably comprehensive coverage of learning outcomes, indicating generally accurate understanding, based on lecture material and some core readings. Some gaps in knowledge and/or understanding evident.

da

Good B- to B+ (60 – 69%) Student demonstrates comprehensive and accurate coverage of learning outcomes, showing good use of teaching material and core readings. Is able to demonstrate broad knowledge of roles of important molecules and key cellular processes.

ardderchog

Excellent A- to A* (70 - 100%) Student has sophisticated knowledge of the biochemical and cellular processes within the human body. Very comprehensive and accurate coverage of learning outcomes, and ability to discuss inter-relationships between biochemical pathways and cellular function, indicating that the student has gone beyond the core readings and explored the topic in depth.

1. Demonstrate a basic understanding of the mechanisms by which signals are transmitted between and within cells

2. Explain the action and inhibition of enzymes, and the importance of cofactors.

3. Outline the structure and function of major biological molecules (including DNA and RNA).

4. Interpret chemical pathways associated with carbohydrate, lipid and protein metabolism in humans.

5. Outline the cell cycle including DNA replication and cell death.

6. Identify the structure and function of eukaryotic cellular organelles.

7. Demonstrate a basic knowledge of the structure of the human genome, and key concepts concerning inheritance.
