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.
