- Know how are constituted, and main functions of biomolecules.
- Know which systems in our body control the pH.
- Realize what enzymes and enzymatic processes are.
- You should know what vitamins are and distinguish between water soluble and fat soluble vitamins.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
The UC is divided into theoretical-practical classes and laboratory classes. The methodology of the theoretical classes consists of the presentation of concepts by the teacher and the students. For each theoretical-practical class, the students have, as task the preparation of the topics to be addressed, and in the course of the same are chosen to present some related concepts on the topic under discussion. The practical classes allow the consolidation of concepts taught in theoretical classes. For each laboratory class, the student prepares a report on the procedures, results and conclusions of the experiments carried out. The evaluation of the curricular unit consists of a test of knowledge evaluation and oral presentation of the work done by the students.
