Analyze from a theoretical and practical point of view the basic principles of physics, as well as their application. Mainly in the field of
Biochemistry. The student must complete the course with a good knowledge and handling of the concepts included in the program, and with a
vision of the interest that the study of Physics has to reach a necessary degree of understanding of different concepts that will arise when
studying other subjects of the degree.
THEORY:
Introduction. Biomechanics. Kinematics. Dynamics. Static.
Static and Fluid Dynamics.
Calorimetry. Thermodynamics. Metabolism.
Electricity and Magnetism.
PRACTICES (there may be changes depending on the availability of laboratory material):
Center of gravity.
Densities.
Hydrodynamic bench.
Surface tension.
Viscosity.
Calorimetric measurements of different compounds. .
Electric current.

NOTE: For some topics the on-line bibliography that is considered useful in each case will be used.
H/D08 - Plan and use the main experimental methods aimed at the analysis of biological activity, isolation techniques, characterization of biological molecules, development of therapeutic systems and evaluation of active substances
H/D01 - Adequately apply physical, chemical, mathematical and statistical tools to the study of biological processes.
Comp01 - Develop the ability to properly organize and plan work, based on a synthesis and analysis that allows decision-making.
Comp06 - Develop the ability to learn autonomously with initiative and entrepreneurial spirit.
Con02 - Recognize the physical, chemical, mathematical and statistical bases of biological processes.
In theory classes (expository teaching) the theoretical concepts established in the subject program will be explained, trying to follow a methodology that facilitates the acquisition of knowledge by students. Your participation will be sought during the classes.
In the seminar classes (interactive teaching) the problems previously proposed to the students will be analyzed and discussed through bulletins, which can be done individually or in groups.
Individual tutorials will be conducted to clarify problems and questions of each student, as well as tutorials in the classrooms (interactive teaching) where the understanding and difficulties that the students have had about the different knowledge acquired will be monitored, trying to solve all the doubts and problems that have arisen. Reflection and application tasks in the field of Biochemistry will also be proposed.
In the internships (interactive teaching), compulsory attendance, the knowledge and concepts acquired by the student in the theoretical and seminar classes will be applied. The internships will be carried out in the laboratory in groups of two students.
The USC Virtual Campus will be used to support teaching.
-The completion of the internships of the subject is mandatory, and the workbook to be presented by each group will be evaluated. Score: up to 1 point. Competencies evaluated: H/D08, H/D01, Comp01, Comp06, Con02 .
-The continuous evaluation (attendance and activity in class, bulletins of practical cases and miscellaneous work) will involve a maximum of 2 points (up to 1 point attendance, and up to 1 point class work). Competencies assessed: H/D08, H/D01, Comp01, Comp06, Con02
-Exams: Final and partial exams will be made if considered of interest. In general, the tests will consist of a part of theory-questions and another of problems, each of which will be scored over 10, and will be averaged between them provided that the rating of each of them is not less than 4. Otherwise, the test will be suspended with the lowest grade. The examination shall be approved if the above average is equal to or greater tan 5.
The final exam will count a maximum of 7 points in the final grade of the subject (e.g.: a 10 in the exam will mean a 7 for the calculation of the final grade, which will be 10 if the 3 points are reached in the continuous and practical evaluation). Below 5 in the examination will automatically mean suspending the subject, and not taking into account the qualification of the continuous and practical evaluation (in this case the final qualification that will appear in the record of the subject will be 0.7 x examination note). Competencies assessed: H/D08, H/D01, Comp01, Comp06, Con02
In the case of fraudulent exercises or tests, the provisions of the "Regulations for the assessment of students' academic performance and for the review of grades" shall apply.
The student for the monitoring and compression of the contents of the subject should employ at least 40 hours for the teaching exposition, 22 hours for the seminars and for the accomplishment of the proposed works (bulletins, virtual campus and memory of practices), 27 hours for group tutorials and the examination, and will be necessary at least 10 hours for practices.
- Carry out the exercises and questions proposed.
- Consult the different type of bibliography recommended by the teacher.
Teaching languages: Spanish in the teaching exhibitions, but the consultations in Galician will be facilitated.
