Students are introduced to cellular chemistry and the structure and function of biological molecules including nucleic acids, enzymes and other proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and vitamins. Students also explore metabolic pathways and bioenergetics including DNA synthesis, transcription and translation, glycolysis, fermentation and respiration, oxidation of fatty acids, and photosynthesis. Prerequisite: CHEM 1500 (minimum C- grade) and either CHEM 1510 or 1520 (minimum C- grade); CHEM 2120 and 2220; BIOL 1110 and acceptance into the Major in Chemistry or the Major in Environmental Chemistry Programs Note: This course is the same as BIOL 3130 except it is only available to Chemistry and Environmental Chemistry majors
