Objectives of the Course
The aim of this course is to provide information about inorganic major and minor elements in living systems and their compounds. In addition, the reactions of these compounds, the problems that may be encountered in cases of deficiencies, solutions, and information about the substances that can be taken from outside instead of these substances.

Learning Outcomes PO MME
The students who succeeded in this course:
LO-1 Can give information about the bioactive elements and their compounds. PO-1 Develop advanced theoretical and applied knowledge in the field, depending on undergraduate and graduate qualifications.
PO-2 Can make connections between different disciplines and sub-fields that their field is related to by using their expert knowledge and skills, work in harmony in research groups.
PO-7 Can develop new ideas and methods with different perspectives by using high-level competencies such as suggesting solutions to problems that arise in the field and making decisions.
PO-8 Can design theoretical, experimental, or modeling-based research that will contribute to progress in the field, develop new scientific methods, and apply a known method to a different field.
Examination
LO-2 Can suggest new solutions by learning the reactions of iron, zinc, calcium, and cobalt, which are in living systems, the problems encountered in cases of deficiency, and solutions.
