Introduction to Biochemistry for Dentistry Students

Data

Official data in SubjectManager for the following academic year: 2024-2025

Topic

Introduction to Biochemistry includes the topics of organic and bio-organic chemistry along with basic biochemistry which are necessary for dentistry students. It deals with the structure, chemistry, and cellular metabolism of essential biomolecules like proteins, carbohydrates and lipids. The purpose of practices is to consider the chemistry of bio-compounds. Curriculum of Introduction to Biochemistry contains the basic knowledge that is necessary to understand cell biology, physiology, pharmacology and biochemistry.

Conditions for acceptance of the semester

none

Mid-term exams

There are lab practices at every EVEN NUMBERED EDUCATIONAL weeks (2-4-6-8-10-12-14). There are short tests from week 4 till 14. The lab is beginning with a short test (time is 6 minutes; 6 occasions; max. 6 exampoints). Requirement for acceptance is writing 5 test out of 6 possibility.

There is no possibilities to write a short test if delaying is over 5 minutes. No more than 10 minutes delay is accepted, over of it, it is an absence. No more than 1 absence is allowed from the 7 lab occasions (15%).

It is obligatory to write lab-notes. Result of the short test is acknowledged only if the lab-notes of the practice is accepted by the lab instructor. The exam is based on the topic of the lectures and labs. (http://aok.pte.hu/en/egyseg/oktatasianyagok/2024)

Making up for missed classes

There is no possibility to make up of the lab practices.

Exam topics/questions

Written exam, Questions 1–10: MRT questions, maximum 30 points, must be obtained at least 21 points. If <21 points is obtained: failed, irrespectively of the remaining part of the test. Questions 11–: 70 points; Total: 100 points (+Laboratory test points: max. 6)
