Iron Transport and Storage: Course Description
In the advanced introductory course of 'Iron Transport and Storage,' students can learn about the biochemical processes and methods involved in iron uptake, transport and storage. The OpenCourseWare shows students that iron is usually short in supply because the hydroxides and oxides are unable to dissolve in an organism's system. It also discusses how iron gets stored, transported and replaced in organisms through a biochemical system that includes transferring and ferritin. Students will also learn about thalassaemia, which is a hereditary condition that causes individuals to have low red blood cells due to inefficient oxygen transport and storage to make iron proteins. The free course discusses iron transport and storage, principles of iron chemistry and iron uptake by organisms with a display of figures and charts. Students can study the chemical formulas and calculations provided in the materials as they examine the various problems of iron uptake. Students can post messages to the unit forum to further discuss the course materials and compare answers and solutions on what they have learned in 'Iron Transports and Storage.'
This OpenCourseWare includes study materials. If you are interested in taking this free course, visit the iron storage and transport course page.
