The goal | Acquiring knowledge and understanding of structures and properties of simple and complex molecules, getting to know chemical reactions of organic and inorganic compounds that are crucial for the processes in cells of the organism, as well as the chemical laws and mechanisms that underlie these processes. Laboratory exercises provide basic laboratory techniques as well as the ability to use laboratory procedures. | |||
The outcome | After completing this course, the student should: - recognizes and understands the structure of basic and complex molecules, as well as chemical laws that are crucial for the chemical and biochemical reactions in the body - acquires the ability to integrate theoretical knowledge and practical skills in laboratory practice - compare and connect the structures and properties of organic compounds and biomolecules - possesses practical skills of independent and team work in theoretical presentation as well as in laboratory analyzes - masters and independently uses methods of analytical chemistry, qualitative and quantitative analysis - gains safety in laboratory work - solves chemistry tasks independently by calculation | |||
