BIO214STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION OF MAJOR CELL COMPONENTS

BIO214 – Structure and Function of Macromolecules dives deeper into the major macromolecules essential to life—carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. Students learn about their chemical composition, biological roles, structural features, and metabolic pathways. Special attention is given to how these molecules interact and contribute to cellular functions.

Laboratory sessions enhance students’ comprehension through experimentation with biochemical tests, chromatography, and spectroscopy. This course provides a bridge between chemistry and biology, offering essential knowledge for careers in medicine, pharmacology, and molecular biosciences. It also prepares students for more advanced studies in cellular and molecular biology.
