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. Prerequisite(s): CHEM 101 (C-grade or higher) (Spring)
