Intro to Biochemistry

Catalog #10806186

This course provides students with skills and knowledge of organic and biological chemistry necessary for application within Nursing and other Allied Health careers. Emphasis is placed in recognizing the structure, physical properties and chemical reactions of organic molecules, body fluids, and acids. Additional emphasis is placed on biological functions and their relationships to enzymes, proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and DNA. Prerequisite: General Chemistry, 10-806-134 with a "C" or better or high school chemistry with a "C" or better. PLEASE NOTE: While the title of this coure is Introduction to Biochemistry, it includes very limited biochemistry content and an introduction to organic chemistry, similar to our Chemistry 806-201 course. If you need a "true" biochemistry course for transfer to a school or program, you should check with them before assuming that Introduction to Biochemistry 186 will suffice. Survey of Biochemistry 265 may be a better choice.

Credits: 3

Prerequisites: Prereq for Intro Biochemistry: General Chemistry, 10-806-134 or high school chemistry with a C" or better.
