Overview

• The course aims to gain knowledge about:
• The chemical composition and biological value of the biomolecules represented in fats, lipids, nucleic acids, and others
• The vital interactions that occur in the cells of the human body and how the body controls them
• The regulating mechanism for the levels of some vital substances inside the body, the causes of their imbalance, and the necessary tests that will identify some diseases
• Biological analysis and the relationship between them and some clinical diseases.

Content outline:

• Lipid chemistry
• Metabolism of lipids
• Molecular biology
• Hemoglobin chemistry

Intended learning outcomes

After completing this course, the student will be able to:

• Understand the chemical reactions within the body and their impact on the vital functions of the body
• Know the chemistry of human cells, and their role in the appearance of dysfunctions in the body (diseases)
• Develop and design tests to detect some diseases
• know the basic and different methods of biological analysis and understand the results and laboratory biological experiment

Teaching and learning methods

• lectures
• tutorials and presentations
• Lab classes and reports

Methods of assessments

The students' knowledge and performance about the studied topics are assessed throughout the study period. These assessment methods include the following quizzes, discussion sessions, oral exams, and written exams (grand total mark 100%)

• Mid-term exam =20%

• Practical exam =20%
• Quizzes and activities = 20%
• Final exam =40%
