CHEM-Chemistry (CHEM)
CHEM-110: Chemistry and Biochemistry in our World
Contact Hours: Lecture - 24, Lab - 16, Clinical - 0
Semester Hours: Theory 1.5, Lab .5
This course provides the course taker with foundational chemistry concepts and explores how they relate to our world. This course begins with a focus on understanding basic chemical processes, starting with the definition of matter and progressing through the atom, molecules, intermolecular interactions, chemical equations, and stoichiometry. Students then learn the fundamentals of organic chemistry with a focus on functional groups and nuclear chemistry with a focus on properties, health and safety as they build to biochemistry where students are exposed to the four major biological macromolecules, enzymes, and flow of genetic information. Lab exercises relate to the topics discussed.
Prerequisite: MATH-105N

CHEM-120: Introduction to General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry with Lab
Contact Hours: Lecture - 48, Lab - 32, Clinical - 0
Semester Hours: Theory 3, Lab 1
This is a survey course that covers the lower division chemistry disciplines of general and organic chemistry and introduces the upper division discipline of biochemistry. The general chemistry section of the course seeks to build an understanding of basic chemical processes and states of matter by starting with the definition of matter and progressing through the atom, molecules, intermolecular interactions, chemical equations and accounting. The organic chemistry section presents the major categories of organic compounds, including saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons and oxygen- and nitrogen-containing compounds. In the biochemistry portion, students are exposed to the four major biological macromolecules with some coverage of enzymes and the central dogma of biology. Lab exercises relate to topics discussed.
