CHEM 1130 Chemistry for Health Sciences II

2.0 - 3.0 - 3.0

Prerequisite

(2) College-level reading, writing, and math proficiency; and CHEM 1120 or CHEM 1211 or CHEM 1212 - must be completed prior to taking this course.

Corequisite

(1) CHEM 1130L - must be taken at the same time as this course.

Course Description

CHEM 1130 is a continuation of CHEM 1120, and parallels the chemistry of organic molecules to biochemical functions. The course presents topics as a parallel between organic compounds and similar 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 begins during the second part of the quarter, immediately following the completion of CHEM 1120. Both CHEM 1120 and 1130 must be completed to satisfy the requirements for transfer as a four-semester credit course for baccalaureate work. Students registering for this course must also register for CHEM 1130L, which is the laboratory component of the course.
