Molecular Biology: Introduction To The Microscopical World

Let’s talk about the micro-world around us!

What you’ll learn
Students will be able to grasp the main biochemistry concepts.
Students will learn the structure, function, and characteristics of biomolecules
Students will have solid foundations in biochemistry and biomolecules
Students will have the knowledge to move on to more complex biologic concepts
Requirements
The only requirements are a notebook or somewhere to take notes and a device capable of downloading PDF documents. Besides, I recommend you to be curious and to have a good attitude towards learning!
Description
Welcome to the course Molecular biology: Introduction to the microscopical world.In this course you will learn the foundations of biochemistry and biomolecules. As a matter of fact, after you study all lectures of this course, you will have the tools to grasp other topics like cellular biology.This course will provide you enough resources to delve into more complex biological areas. In fact, these lessons are focused on the following concepts:Understand and analyze all elements on the periodic tableClassification of organic compoundsIn-depth analysis of chemical bondsLearn all characteristics, functions, and structures of biomoleculesDetailed study of particular types of biomoleculesOn the one hand, understanding how the fundamentals of biochemistry will make you master other biology areas due to a solid basic knowledge in the biochemistry area. On the other hand, learning about biomolecules will make you knowledgeable of how they are crucial for our diet, and their positive impact on our bodies due to their nutritional benefits.By the end of this course, you will hopefully have the educational resources in order to face basic level science tests related to molecular biology. Besides, I also hope you will feel inspired to continue studying the magnificence of the world around us.
