About the Book
Biochemistry: A Guided Inquiry uses the philosophy of Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL) to teach the fundamental concepts of biochemistry. In these activities, students will work in teams to explore models of biochemical information and develop essential ideas so they can more fully understand the discipline. In addition, they will intentionally practice process skills including teamwork, information processing, critical thinking, and communication. The topics in this book cover the major themes of biomolecules, metabolism, and the replication, transcription, and translation of genetic information.
