This module focuses on the strategies and principles used to control microbial growth in laboratory, clinical, and industrial settings. Students explore physical methods (e.g., heat, radiation, filtration) and chemical methods (e.g., disinfectants, antiseptics, sterilants) for inhibiting or killing microorganisms. The module also covers the concepts of microbial resistance, factors affecting the efficacy of antimicrobial agents, and proper techniques to maintain aseptic conditions. By understand...

This module introduces students to microbial metabolism and the environmental factors that influence microbial growth. Students explore how microorganisms obtain energy, including catabolic and anabolic pathways, enzyme function, ATP production, and the differences between aerobic, anaerobic, and fermentation processes. The module also examines key factors that impact microbial growth—such as temperature, pH, oxygen levels, moisture, nutrient availability, and osmotic pressure—along with how...

This module introduces students to the principles of microbial classification and nutritional requirements. It covers the major taxonomic groups of microorganisms, the criteria used to classify them, and the differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. Students learn how microbes are named, grouped, and identified based on structure, physiology, and genetic characteristics. The module also explores microbial nutrition, including essential nutrients, energy sources, growth factors, a...

This study guide provides a structured review of key concepts covered throughout the BIOS 242 course, helping students prepare effectively for the final exam. It highlights essential topics in microbiology, including microbial structure and function, growth and metabolism, genetics, host–microbe interactions, immunity, and infectious diseases. The guide organizes learning objectives, core definitions, diagrams, and summary notes to support focused revision. Designed as a comprehensive learning...

This module introduces students to the fundamentals of organic molecular structure through hands-on model building. Students use molecular model kits to construct representations of key organic compounds, including alkanes, alkenes, alcohols, and simple functional groups. The activity helps students visualise three-dimensional shapes, understand bonding patterns, identify isomers, and explore concepts such as hybridisation and molecular geometry. By physically assembling structures, students str...

CHEM 120 – Week 4: Ideal Gas Law and Acids & Bases (University Lab Module) This module introduces students to two core areas of general chemistry: gas behavior and acid–base chemistry. In the Ideal Gas Law section, students explore the relationship between pressure, volume, temperature, and moles, using laboratory measurements to apply PV = nRT and understand real-world gas behavior. In the acids and bases component, students learn to identify acid–base properties, measure pH, distinguish...

This module introduces students to the quantitative foundations of chemistry through Avogadro’s number and basic molecular calculations. Students learn how one mole relates to the number of particles, molar mass, and measurable laboratory quantities. The session covers converting between grams, moles, and number of atoms or molecules, determining molecular formulas, and applying dimensional analysis to solve chemical calculation problems. This practical lab module strengthens students’ numer...

This module introduces students to the organization and structure of the periodic table, focusing on how element arrangement reflects atomic number, electron configuration, and recurring chemical properties. Students learn to identify groups, periods, metals, non-metals, and metalloids, and understand trends such as atomic radius, ionization energy, and electronegativity. The session builds a foundation for predicting chemical behavior and bonding patterns, supporting further study in general, o...

A foundational laboratory course designed to build practical skills in measurement, chemical analysis, organic functional group identification, and basic biochemical testing. Students learn essential lab techniques used in health sciences and applied chemistry fields, including solution preparation, pH analysis, reaction observation, and testing of carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids. The course emphasizes safety, accuracy, critical thinking, and application of chemical principles to real-world ...
