Learning objectives
OBIETTIVI SCIENZE BIOLOGICHE E BIOCHIMICHE The whole Course aims to provide basic knowledge of biochemistry, cell biology and human genetics, preparatory for further advanced topics. Teaching is intended to provide: - basic knowledge of general and organic chemistry preparatory for biochemistry - structure-function relationship of the most important biological macromolecules and notions of the metabolic regulation at the molecular level - cross-talk between the different biochemical pathways and the energy level changes associated - structural, functional and molecular characteristics of living organisms, in an evolutionary view - knowledge of the fundamental concepts of genetics and transmission of hereditary characters in humans At the end of the Course, students should demonstrate that the knowledge necessary for a critical analysis of the biochemical processes of life has been acquired, in order to gain autonomy in the evaluation of the mentioned processes. Students should also demonstrate the knowledge of the basic mechanisms which regulate intra/intercellular activities, cellular interactions and reproduction, and cause mutations. They should also demonstrate to be familiar with Mendelian genetics and particularly with pathologic traits in humans. Moreover, students should display their capability to expose their reasoning in a critical and precise manner, using appropriate scientific terms.
Prerequisites and basic notions
There are no specific prerequisites, other than the knowledge required for access to the degree course.
Bibliography
Criteria for the composition of the final grade
The exam consists of two written tests (multiple choice questions and open questions), one for each module, based on the didactic content of the whole syllabus, to be passed compulsorily in the same exam session.
Students will pass the examination if the overall rating of all modules, based on the weighted average of credits, is greater than or equal to 18/30.
