Course Name: BIOCHEMISTRY
Code: CHEM 3

Prerequisite: Chem 101: General Chemistry

Course Credit: 5 units (6 hours lecture, 3 hours laboratory work)

Units: 5
Pre-requisite: CHEM 1

Course Description

This course is designed for BS Nursing major. There will be a review of the basic concepts of Chemistry and Organic Chemistry. The General Chemistry will include concepts of Matter and
the periodic table. It will also include naming and writing which will then be followed by balancing equation. Organic Chemistry is a major branch of chemistry. In particular it is the study of
carbon chemistry. The element carbon has many unique properties. For one it is not very abundant on the earth. It is, however, very significant for earth’s living residents. All life forms on
earth are made of molecules, which contain carbon. Carbon chains provide the backbone of most of the matter in living things. Because carbon can bond to itself strongly as well as to other
non-metals it can form a tremendous number of diverse and complex molecules. These molecules provide just the kind of diversity and complexity, which is necessary for living things. There are
easily several million organic molecules, which have been made by living things or by chemists, and because of the vast number of these compounds these molecules provide the foundation for
the complexity of life. In the chemistry of organic molecules certain common groups atoms attached to the main chain exhibit special and characteristic chemistry. These special groups of
atoms are called functional groups. Large groups of organic compounds are classified according to these functional groups. We will learn about the functional groups, which are particularly
significant in the molecules of living organisms. We will observe these functional groups in four significant classes of biological molecules carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and DNA. This unit is
intended as a final chapter in the study of Chemistry so that you the student will be aware of the integration of Chemistry into life itself
.
Course Objectives:

After successful completion of CHEM 3, the student will be able to:

1. Identify some basic properties of the following classes of compounds: hydrocarbons, alcohols, ketones, aldehydes, carboxylic acids, esters, amines and amides. These properties would
include water solubility, boiling points and whether the molecules can hydrogen bond or not.
2. Describe the chemical composition and functions of carbohydrates.
3. Describe the chemical composition and functions of lipids.
4. Describe the chemical composition and functions of proteins.
5. Describe the chemical composition and functions of nucleic acids.
6. Discuss in a short answer or essay format the interrelated functions of carbohydrates and proteins, lipids and proteins, and proteins and nucleic acids.

Grading. Grading: 90-100% correct = A, 80-90% = B, 70-80% = C, 60-70% = D, and below 60% = E (failure). Grades for the course were calculated from the best 3 of 4 exam scores (90%) plus the
adjusted quiz grade (10%). Typical final grades for the course were 38% A, 38% B, 20% C, 4% D, and 0-1% E for 250 students.

Exams 3 hourly exams of S0 multiple-choice questions each were machine-graded for percent correct. Typical exam grades were 27% A, 35 % B, 22% C, 10% D, and 6% E. The mean exam score
was usually 81% correct with a standard deviation of 11%. The exams and answer keys were returned and discussed with the students.

Quizzes 8 weekly quizzes (between exams) of 10 multiple-choice questions.

Reports: Absences or any quiz points missed could be made up by writing one-page reports on a current biochemical topic. Many students selected from a list of over 200 Scientific American
magazine articles relevant to biochemistry. Each report counted 25 to S0% of the value of one quiz.

.Grading System:
