Demonstrate understanding of biochemical concepts and principles,
including:

- The chemical properties of the cellular environment and of    
amino acids that influence protein folding.

- The thermodynamics (e.g., energy) of biochemical reactions.

- The kinetics (i.e., rates) of biochemical reactions.

- The biochemical characteristics of the major categories of 
biomolecules: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids.

- The pathways within cells and organisms that break down or 
build biomolecules.

- The regulation of enzymes within pathways and the coordination 
of pathways.

- The structure and function of nucleic acids.

Develop skills in scientific reasoning and problem solving,
including improving your ability to:

- Reason about scientific principles, theories, and models.

- Analyze and evaluate scientific explanations and predictions.

- Reason about the design and execution of research.

- Interpret patterns in data presented in tables, figures, and 
graphs.

- Describe multiple examples of the real-life relevance of 
biochemistry, such as how biochemistry is used to:

- Determine the cause of inexplicable diseases.

- Develop biofuels.

- Uncover how people become addicted to cocaine.

Be inspired to keep learning biochemistry.
