Course synopsis
This course will cover two distinct areas of Biochemistry. The first part will provide an introduction of the basic structure of a living cell and its organelles. Emphasis will be placed on the relation between the fundamental structure and function of cellular components. This involves the study of biological macromolecules such as protein, lipid, carbohydrate and nucleic acid. Students will also learn the importance of protein structure in enzymology.

The second part of this course will cover the basics of metabolism, enzymes as catalyst of metabolic pathways and energetics principles in general. Details on vital metabolic pathways and processes such as glycolysis, fermentation of sugars, pentose phosphate pathway, gluconeogenesis, citric acid cycle,

    Sous Vide is a cooking method in which food is vacuum-sealed in a plastic pouch and then cooked at a gentle temperature in a precisely controlled water bath. Compared to other cooking methods, sous vide provides more control and allows for perfect, repeatable results every time. The method is easy to learn and takes much of the stress out of cooking. Food can be held at a perfect level of doneness for a much longer time than usual methods allow.…

    The scope is the most important element to understand about any project. All planning andallocation of resources are anchored to this understanding. Scope creep is a significant risk insoftware development projects. We discuss why this is so, and how to avoid or at least mitigatethe risk. New software is usually developed as a result of a customer identifying a need. Thenext step is to specify how the software will meet that need; specifically, what functionality willbe developed. The scope and budget are set, the team knows what they're delivering, andeveryone is ready to begin. The Project Management Institute Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) defines product scope as the features and functions that are to beincluded in a product or service. It defines project scope as the work that must be done todeliver a product with the specified features and functions. Project scope management isdefined as the processes required to ensure that the project includes all the work required, andonly the work required, to complete the project successfully.…
