CHEM 122 - College Chemistry II

(3 cr each) CHEM 122 and its companion course CHEM 122L are the second part of a two-semester sequence that presents an overview of fundamental chemical principles for students preparing for a nursing program. The course places special emphasis on those aspects of chemistry that have connections to physiology, microbiology, pharmacology, and medicine. The course begins with an introduction to organic chemistry that will serve as a basis for the study of the biochemically important compounds such as proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and nucleic acids. This course, along with CHEM 120 , CHEM 120L , and CHEM 122L , fulfills the Core Curriculum Laboratory Sciences requirement. Prerequisites: CHEM 120 .   Corequisite: It is recommended, but not required, that CHEM 122L  be taken concurrently.
