Course description
In this foundational agricultural biochemistry course, you will explore the processes that regulate energy and information pathways in animals and plants, with a special focus on agriculturally important species. Additionally, you'll study the biochemistry of nutrients and energy sources in different biological contexts and examine how domestication and artificial selection within agriculture have influenced the genetic code and protein synthesis. External mode of study is restricted and will require permission to enrol. To request permission email AGFS Enquire with the course information and include relevant supporting evidence. Eligibility criteria: - Students must show evidence that travel time of greater than 90 minutes or 100km from Gatton Campus and is reflected in mySI-net: Acceptable Evidence advice that MySi-net record is up to date; - Students must show evidence that work commitments restrict their ability to attend regular practicals: Acceptable Evidence a letter from employer - Students with core course timetable clashes: Acceptable Evidence a copy of correspondence from Science My Timetable indicating clash is unable to be resolved. Clashes with elective courses will not be considered. - Students unable to provide this evidence will be assessed on a case-by-case basis. This course will be last offered in external mode in 2024.
