Description:

Prerequisite: BIO 101, PHYS 101, or CHEM 101. In this course, students will explore the science behind the 'finer things of life.' Thecreation of paintings, perfume, wine, pieces of art glass and pottery, gourmet food, and other luxuries depend upon chemical, biological, and physical processes. Understanding these transformations and how they are used creatively is essential to both the development and preservation of works of art. In addition, a discussion of the biochemical processes that are central to the perception (and misperception) of these 'fine' things will be included. This is a onesemester course without a lab. Therefore, BIO 101, PHYS 101, or CHEM 101 followed by this course would meet the General College Requirements for the Natural Science Perspective. 3 cr.
