- to be able to express basic biochemical and cellular concepts in oral, written and poster presentations and to appreciate the importance of effective public speaking and group skills;
- to know and understand the basic structure and function of cells at a biochemical and molecular level;
- to know and understand the concept and process of homeostasis;
- to recognise the importance of the relationship between structure and function in biochemical processes;
- to understand biochemistry and its implications at the whole body level;
- to understand the flow of genetic information;
- to understand the process of cell metabolism including energy metabolism and the role of enzymes and its implications at the whole body level.
