Biochemistry for Dentistry Students

Data

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

Topic

The subject gives an overview of the molecular processes occurring in living organisms from two major aspects. On the one hand, following the subject -Introduction to Biochemistry, it describes the metabolism of the four major types of biomolecules (carbohydrates, lipids, amino ac ids/proteins and nucleotides /nucleic acids) along with the indirect enzymatic regulation of

these processes. On the other hand, built on the subject -Molecular Cell Biology, accounts for the molecular processes responsible for the transmission of information within the living organisms from molecular biological (DNA-RNA-protein-metabolite) as well as hormonal point of view. The subject lies down the foundations of the subjects Pharmacology and Clinical Chemistry.

Conditions for acceptance of the semester

non

Mid-term exams

It is obligatory to visit the lectures. There are seminars 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). These points cannot be added to the minimum questions, but they will be added to the final score. 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 seminars(15%).

Making up for missed classes

Non

Exam topics/questions

The questions of the exams are based on the lectures and exercises of the previous semesters (Chemistry for Dentistry Students, Introduction to Biochemistry for Dentistry Students) and the lectures and seminars of the current semester (Biochemistry for Dentistry Students). The exam starts with 7 minimum questions. Minimum questions: max. 28 points/min. 20 points are required. Exam questions: additional 92 points; Total: 120 points + Extra points: 0-6
0-70 points: 1 (fail)

71-80 points: 2 (satisfactory)

81-90 points: 3 (average)

91-100 points: 4 (good)

101-120 points: 5 (excellent)
