Introduction
TASK 1: Self-reflection - Introduction to Biochemistry
Students should include a statement of Course Learning Outcomes (CLO), relate subject biochemistry with examples given in the introduction lecture.
Biochemistry is defined as the study of chemistry that relates to the biological activity of organisms. Biochemistry is also known as study of life at molecular level and describing the chemistry of the living cell. There are two major breakthroughs in history of biochemistry, which are the discovery of roles of enzymes as catalysts and the role of nucleic acids as information-carrying molecules. In biochemistry, we are going to be able to describe the structure, organization and function of living organisms in terms of molecules.
Application of Biochemistry:
1. Medicines
3. Industrial processes
Three Areas of Studies:
· Conformational – structure and 3-D arrangements of biomolecules.
· Metabolism – biochemical pathways.
· Informational – language for communication inside and between cells.
TASK 2: YOUTUBE VIDEO – Interaction Between Molecules and Salt (NaCl) When Dissolved in Water.
Form a group of 5, produce a YouTube video; less than 3 minutes explaining interactions between water molecules and salt (NaCl) when it dissolved in the water.
In this video, we are going to learn on how water molecules interact with the salt molecules (NaCl).
Members involved:
-Cornelius Carlsaint anak Marcus (65727)
-Sherlis anak Linus (67700)
-Aaron Geoffrey (65281)
-Nazrul bin Mohammad Hamdi (66925)
-Mohammad Najib bin Faysial (66687)
