  BIOCHEMISTRY

Competencies and objectives

 

Course context for academic year 2021-22

       La Bioquímica es una asignatura de formación básica en el Grado en Nutrición Humana y Dietética cuyo objetivo principal es el de proporcionar una visión general de todas las biomoléculas presentes en la naturaleza, así como establecer las bases químicas, moleculares y genéticas de los procesos biológicos. A lo largo de la historia de esta disciplina científica, los bioquímicos han trabajado para desvelar los principios químicos y físicos fundamentales que sustentan los procesos vivos. Por lo tanto, sienta las bases de conocimiento necesarias para poder identificar esos procesos en el ser humano.
       Esta asignatura proporciona las bases, tanto para la comprensión de otras asignaturas del Grado, como para el desarrollo de la futura actividad profesional del graduado en Nutrición Humana y Dietética.

 

 

Course content (verified by ANECA in official undergraduate and Master’s degrees)

Specific Competences (CE)

  • E65 : Apply one's knowledge of Food Science to analyse, in a real situation, the modifications undergone by foods and food products as a result of technological and culinary processes, and of the production, preparation, transformation and conservation systems that can affect their chemical composition, physicochemical properties, nutritional value, bioavailability and organoleptic qualities.
  • E66 : Apply one's knowledge of Nutritional, Dietetics and Health Sciences to design and carry out, in a real situation, for both healthy and sick individuals and taking into account the conditions inherent in the life cycle, the nutritional status dietetic protocol, the interpretation of the nutritional diagnosis, the evaluation of the nutritional aspects of a clinical history and a dietetics action plan.
  • E67 : Apply one's knowledge of Nutritional Epidemiology, Public Health and Community Nutrition to design and plan diet and nutrition intervention programmes that incorporate activities for the promotion of health and prevention of disorders and illnesses related with nutrition and life styles. E68. Design and plan a research protocol for health care, nutrition and dietetics, being able to formulate hypotheses, gather and interpret the information needed to solve research problems and acquiring the ability for critical analysis of scientific thinking.
