19	Objective of the Course:	he aim of the course is to comprehend structures of vitamins and coenzymes. To explain the role of coenzymes in metabolism
20	Contribution of the Course to Professional Development	Coenzymes are the most important molecules in biochemical reactions. Vitamins serve in the molecular structure of coenzymes. Some vitamin-like molecules are also involved in metabolism as coenzymes. Students who learn why they used coenzymes in their experimental studies will interpret the experimental results better.

Learning Outcomes:

1	Students can compare foods which is vitamin in;
2	Students can evaluate the structure of coenzymes with vitamins;
3	Students can identify the types of coenzymes;
4	Students can explain electron transport mechanisms of coenzymes;
5	Students can grasp the metabolic importance of coenzymes and vitamins;
6	students can grasp the enzymes work together with coenzymes;
7	Students can grasp the importance of nucleotide triphosphates;
8	Students can understand the diseases occurring deficiency of vitamins and coenzymes;
