Learning purposes : Learn about the chemical properties of DNA, RNA, proteins, and cell membranes as materials that are central to biological activities. Also, understand the role of various molecules in biological functions, for example central dogma and transport.
Course Objectives :
◎1. Understand the chemical characteristics of DNA, RNA, protein and cell membrane.
2. Understand the central dogma
3. Understand genes and genomes
◎4. Understand the function of cell membranes.
Outline:
General or Specialized : Specialized
Field of learning : Chemistry/Biology
Foundational academic disciplines : Biology I/General Biology/Experiments in Science
Relationship with Educational Objectives :This class is equivalent to (3) Acquire deep foundation knowledge of the major subject area
Relationship with JABEE programs :The main goals of learning / education in this class is "(A)"
Course outline : Advances in molecular biology in the latter half of the 20th century have led to the development of biology to understand biological phenomena at the level of genes, molecules, and cells. In this lecture, we will outline molecular biology, and understand biological phenomena at the molecular level.
Style:
"Course method : We will explain the main points using figures and tables. By conducting exercises that match the content of the lesson appropriately, review and self-study are encouraged.
Grade evaluation method : The scores of each of the four regular exams are evaluated equally (70%), and the quizzes and reports up to each regular exam are added (30%). As a general rule, the first semester grades are the average of the interim and the final exams, and the final grade is the average of all the results. Textbooks and notebooks are not allowed into the exam.
Notice:
"Precautions on the enrollment : Students must take this class (no more than one-third of the required number of class hours may be missed) in order to complete the 1st year course.
Course advice : Instead of memorizing the words about living things, we recomend that you gain an understanding of the mechanisms of life phenomena.
Foundational subjects : Biology I (1st year), Chemistry I (2nd ), Chemistry II (3rd ), Experiments in Science (2nd ), General Biology (2nd )
Related subjects : Chemistry II (3rd year)Moleculav Biology, Applied Biology (4th year), Developmental Biology (4th year), Experiments in Biology (4th year), Biochemistry (4th year), Cell Biology (4th year), Bioformaties (5th)
Attendance advice : Strictly adhere to the deadline for report assignments. If you are late for class, you will be considered absent after half the class time. If you have any questions about the lecture or related topics, we encourage you to ask to deepen your understanding."
