CHM-240 General Biological Chemistry
General Biological Chemistry is designed to give,the student a broad overview of the interactions,of biologically active molecules. A review of,basic organic functional groups will be provided,as well as a review of energy requirements for,chemical reactions. Four classes of biologically,active molecules (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins,and nucleic acids) will be studied in detail,,culminating in a discussion of how these,molecules interact to create and sustain living,organisms (metabolism). This course is designed,to provide students with sufficient background in,biological chemistry to gain admission to,programs in pharmacy, nutrition, nursing and,other health science major programs which require,proficiency in such.
Prerequisite
Successful completion of
CHM-210,with a grade of B or higher, or
CHM-220 with a,grade of C or higher.
