Exclusions
Description	The molecular nature of cellular component will be described and their structure related to their function in the cell, focusing particularly on proteins and enzymes. The cellular role and the regulation of metabolic pathways will be studied. The way in which cells are able to access and utilise the chemical energy present in foodstuffs will be described. In parallel, students will use independent learning texts to learn or revise fundamental topics, pH, pK, and energetics and redox potentials.
Learning Outcomes	To develop an understanding of the fundamental biochemical processes which take place inside cells, to learn how to apply chemical concepts to biological systems, and to learn how to manage a student-centered resource-based component of a course.
