The focus of this course is on the structure and metabolism of macromolecules such as carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids. Essential biochemistry concepts including glycolysis, protein synthesis, enzymes, the citric acid cycle, the electron transport chain and ATP synthesis are thoroughly investigated. The application of biochemistry to naturopathic principles is integrated throughout the course; providing students with a unique opportunity to learn biochemistry within the context of naturopathic medicine. Incorporation of a virtual laboratory component enhances and re-enforces course material and allows the student to experience a practical application of biochemistry while maintaining the convenience of online learning. SBC100 provides the necessary pre-requisite knowledge required for the ND program.
