Learners enrolled: 2790
As Microbiology is an interdisciplinary subject, Biochemistry is an integral part of this subject.
The Biochemistry course is a 36 module six unit course which has seven units that includes Bioenergetics, Biochemistry of Carbohydrates, Lipids, Proteins, Enzymes, Vitamins and Practicals.
To know a specific system like microorganisms vividly, Biochemistry is the important background subject. After completion of the course, the students can automatically apply this knowledge of Biochemistry in their corresponding fields. It will help them enough for their research purpose and competitive examinations.
