About this course

Emphasis is placed on analyzing the chemistry of biochemical molecules including proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids. The chemistry of biomolecules is applied to prerequisite knowledge of cell structures and life processes. Basic concepts of metabolism are introduced, focusing on the breakdown of carbohydrates for energy. The laboratory component reinforces learning of the lecture material, while teaching technical skills and the analysis and interpretation of experiments involving biochemical molecules.
