</small></small></small>EEMB 175, BIOCHEMICAL ADAPTATION<br>
</big></big></big>(answers the question "why did I ever learn all that
stuff about enzymes and metabolism?") <br>
<br>
</div>
EEMB 175 involves
the application of your knowledge of enzymes and metabolism to
biologically interesting and relevant subjects such as enzyme and
membrane adaptations to temperature and hydrostatic pressure (e.g., in
the deep sea), how some animals survive the absence of oxygen (while we
die from strokes or heart attacks), the energetics of exercise in
animal athletes, the biochemistry of human anorexia and adaptations to
prolonged fasting in penguins, bears and seals. <br>
<br>
In addition to being applicable to the major requirements for the
general biological sciences and specialized EEMB majors, this course is
also applicable to the following specialized MCDB majors<br>
<ul>
<li>Biochemistry-Molecular Biology, Area E</li>
<li>Cell and Developmental Biology, Area F<br>
</li>
<li>Pharmacology, Area II</li>
</ul>
PREREQUISITES RELAXED: Students who have taken EEMB 154 (Integrative
Physiology) or EEMB 157 (Cell Physiology) or ANY INTRODUCTORY
BIOCHEMISTRY COURSE that covers enzyme function and metabolism are
qualified (if you are unable to register, please contact Professor Raul
Suarez by e-mail: <a moz-do-not-send="true"
