CO1
REMEMBERING
Define lipids and explain their biological significance, components and classification (simple, compound and derived lipids). Define enzymes, describe their chemical nature, classification and nomenclature.
CO2
UNDERSTANDING
Explain structure and functions of phosphoglycerides (lecithin, cephalin, plasmalogens) and steroids. Define ethology and explain different types of learning including imprinting, habituation and conditioning (e.g., experiments of Ivan Pavlov). Describe embryological development of chick i
Explain factors affecting enzyme activity and interpret enzyme kinetics under varying conditions. Describe and illustrate glycogenesis, glycogenolysis, glycolysis (EMP pathway), Krebs cycle, ETS and HMP shunt with structures.
Differentiate saturated and unsaturated fatty acids and analyze physical and chemical properties of lipids (hydrolysis, rancidity, saponification, hydrogenation). Analyze instrumental learning, avoidance learning and discrete trial procedures. Explain communication mechanisms between bats and moths and social organization in baboons. Classify eggs based on quantity and distribution of yolk and compare cleavage patterns. Analyze stages (24h, 33h, 48h, 72h chick embryo), extra-embryonic membranes and flexion & torsion.
Evaluate mechanism of enzyme action and significance of marker enzymes in diagnosis. Compare glucogenesis and gluconeogenesis and evaluate their physiological importance. Evaluate reproductive behaviour and courtship strategies in animals
Design a conceptual model integrating biochemical pathways, enzyme regulation, behavioral adaptations and developmental processes.
