Prerequisites
Advised knowledge of the concepts covered in the following teaching units is strongly recommended: LBIO1111, LCHM1141A
Main themes
Main themes to cover :
1. Introduction to metabolism
2. Bioenergetics
3. Biochemical transport phenomenon
Main metabolic ways :
1. Glycolysis and hexose catabolism
2. Metabolism of glycogen and glyconeogenesis
3. Oxidation of fatty acids and biosynthesis of lipids
4. Krebs cycle
5. Electron transport, oxidative phosphorylation
6. Metabolism of amino acids, nucleotides and linked molecules.
Main ways of regulation.
The exercises are divided into two complementary parts :
One, followed in the case of CHIM BAC, consists of practical work on a specific question in biochemistry.
The other, for all, consists of preparing, presenting and discussing, in groups, a question linked to a biochemical problem, but voluntarily carrying onto other disciplines of life sciences.

Content
Please look to LCHM1371 for all the information concerning this course.
Teaching methods
The skills targeted by the course will be developed using lectures.
Laboratory sessions are for chemistry and biology students, and not for students in veterinary science.
Group projects are mandatory for all.

Evaluation methods
For all students (chemists, biologists and veterinarians), evaluation includes :
1. A written exam that will take place during the June exam session. The exam can include questions requiring precise / short answers, theoretical developments or problem solving. Exam questions are presented in both French and English. Answers in either language are eqaully accepted and there is no preference for one language over the other.
2. Group work, which can include a group presentation. The evaluation for the group will take place during the normal class hours. Group work can be prepared in French or English.
For chemistry and biology students evaulation includes :
3. A lab report following the participation and completion of laboratory sessions. The evaluation will take place during the normal term. The lab report can also be prepared in French or English.
