| This module introduces the basic concepts of biochemistry including physical chemistry and thermodynamics, molecular structure and stereochemistry, organic reaction mechanisms, chemical and biochemical energetics, photosynthesis and photorespiration, enzyme catalysis and kinetics, spectroscopy, metabolism and co-enzyme chemistry. The concepts and principles providing a basis for understanding plant and animal physiology are introduced. Animal physiology stresses on functional strategies based on chemical and physical bounds, and plant physiology covers mineral nutrition in plants, plant-water relationships, movement of water and solutes, and growth.
