19	Objective of the Course:	The aim of course is to describe the cell, the tiniest part of the life in a chemical aspect and explain the mechanisms those are effective in the onset of existence of the living organisms and continuity of the life and the end of the life. The goals are to understand basic principal of living organism from atom to molecules, to teach the biochemical importance of water to life, understanding the structure and functions of amino acids, learning structure of peptide and hormones, to teach the structure and functions of proteins, to teach bioenergetics and metabolism concepts, learning the structure and functions of enzymes, recognizing coenzymes, learning clinical, diagnoses and treatment importance of enzymes, understanding of protein metabolism
20	Contribution of the Course to Professional Development	Biochemistry I and Biochemistry II courses include basic Biochemistry subjects. Students who successfully complete the courses become more knowledgeable about their health. Understand the basic features of nutrition as they learn energy metabolism. These courses provide the basis for students wishing to work in the clinical laboratory.
