Bachelor's Program in Environmental Science

Course Description 

This course concerns about the importance of air and water, their composition, possible pollutants, chemical methods used for the determination of these pollutants and the purification methods. The major goal is to understand the basic biochemical properties of biomolecules and the relationship between structure and function. This course covering the fundamentals of biochemistry. Topics covered include: the structure and function of important biomolecules such as carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids, proteins and nucleic acids; enzyme kinetics and the use of cofactors & coenzymes; and metabolic pathways including glycolysis, TCA, electrontransport system, fatty acid and amino acid pathways. Laboratory work includes current biochemical laboratory techniques such as chromatography and electrophoresis, application of specific topics described above, and analysis of data from laboratory experiments. 

Course Main Objective

By the end of this course student have all information about the pollutants of air and water, their sampling, measurements and purification methods.
