Learning outcomes
Environmental Chemistry ----- During the last decades humans released unintentionally, in incidents as well as carelessly more and more different chemicals in the environment without knowing what could happen. Many of those pollutants are persistent and difficult to remove from the environment. Thus even only a smaller amount of chemicals is released in nowadays we still find remains from the past. Students will learn what problems can be caused by releasing substances in the environment and how these substances react. Part Biochemistry and Cell Biology ----- This lecture is to provide examples of systems in Biochemistry and Cell biology. The students are introduced into the specific aspects of organic life which are not found in the physical and abiotic aspects of nature. However, the starting point is the rules of the natural sciences of physics and chemistry, which serve as a key to the understanding of processes in beings. Thus, a matter driven approach is given to describe the typical requirements of organisms.
