This is an introductory biology course intended to give a basic knowledge of the chemical and biochemical basis of biology. We cover basic chemical concepts pertinent to understanding cell biology, including the chemistry of biological chemical bonds, pH, thermodynamics, chemical equilibrium, chemical kinetics, enzyme kinetics, organic molecules, and relevant organic reactions. We also introduce proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates. P. Strieleman. Winter.
