Description
A practical introduction to inorganic, organic, and biochemistry designed primarily for students in various health-related programs. The course meets general education lab science requirements. Lab work required. Prerequisites: MATH 74C; appropriate placement score or grade of C or higher in ENGL 087; or permission of the Science Division Chair or designee. Recommended: READ 088. Formerly CHEM 101, Chemistry. |
Intended Learning Outcomes
Perform metric conversions, caloric content calculations; compute atomic and formula masses; differentiate precision from accuracy.
Identify atoms, subatomic particles, and isotopes; describe the basic chemical nature and behavior of the families on the periodic table.
Apply the rules of inorganic and organic nomenclature to ions and simple molecules; distinguish ionic from covalent bonding; describe the behavior of solids, liquids and gases in terms of intermolecular forces of attraction.
Recognize basic chemical reaction types: combustion, acid-base, redox, hydrolysis and condensation; apply the concept of partial pressures of gases to physiologic functions.
Apply solution concentrations in a variety of units to clinical data; perform dosage calculations involving patient weight, drug concentration and volume; differentiate between osmosis and diffusion.
Recognize simple organic functional groups; differentiate between aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons.
Describe the pH behavior of household solutions, buffers, and physiologic fluids.
Relate the structures of proteins, lipids and carbohydrates to their functions; categorize enzymes by activity; summarize the role of nucleic acids in inheritance and gene expression.
Match the names and images of biochemical structures discussed in class with their normal physiologic functions or roles in disease states.
Demonstrate the safe use of laboratory glassware, equipment and reagents in order to gather data, synthesize and characterize organic molecules, or separate simple biochemical compounds from natural products.
