CHEM 1130 - Chemistry for the Health Sciences II

Institution:

Metropolitan Community College - Nebraska

Subject:

Description:

As a continuation of CHEM 1120, this course will continue with a study of those areas of chemistry that relate to physiological principles. This course will parallel the chemistry of organic molecules to biochemical functions. The three dimensional nature of carbon molecules will be introduced and the relationship between shape and physiological activity will be explored. The course will also cover topics that parallel organic compounds with biochemical molecules pairing such groups as the oxygen containing organic molecules with carbohydrates, carboxylic acids with lipids and amines with amino acids and proteins. CHEM 1130 will begin during the second part of the quarter, immediately following the completion of CHEM 1120. Both CHEM 1120 and CHEM 1130 must be completed to satisfy the requirements for transfer as a four-semester credit course for baccalaureate work. This course includes both lecture and lab components. Prerequisites CHEM 1120 or CHEM 1211 or CHEM 1212 or assessment testing CHEM 1120 is a 5-week course and CHEM 1130 is a 6-week course. They are taught in a single quarter timeframe. It is necessary to complete both courses for any potential transfer credit.
