CHEM 150 - Bioorganic Chemistry

Credits: (4)
This course provides a foundation in structural organic chemistry and introductory biochemistry. Subjects include a survey of organic molecules (e.g. alkanes, alkenes, alkynes) Lewis structures, stereochemistry, inter- and intramolecular forces of attraction, functional groups, plus an introduction to the structure and reactivity of biological molecules, particularly those relevant to human health. The basics of biochemical principles and fundamental metabolic pathways will be presented. Lecture and lab. Students must earn a C- or higher in all prerequisite courses. Prerequisite(s): CHEM 101. $115 Fee Applies Spring only.
