Description:
The Physico-chemistry of biological processes module shall enable that students are knowledgeable about physical and chemical phenomena occurring in biological processes as well as about physico-chemical methods enabling testing biological processes and analysing changes of those processes course. Owing to that students should understand phenomena occurring in living organisms as a set of coupled with each other physical and chemical processes.
Prerequisites:
It is required to achieve effects of education of physics, chemistry, and thermodynamics modules.
