This course is a survey of organic and biochemistry for nursing majors and other allied health fields. Topics include general organic chemistry and biological chemistry as they apply to living systems. The laboratory component will support the course topics including both qualitative and quantitative experiments, and analysis of data. Prerequisites: CHEM V101, or CHEM V120A, or CHEM V01A and CHEM V01AL, or CHEM V20 and CHEM V20L. Field trips may be required. Formerly: CHEM V21; CHEM V21L; CHEM 21. Transfer credit: CSU; UC.

This course is for biological and health science majors. General, organic, and biological chemistry are studied with an emphasis placed on medical applications. Topics in general chemistry will include the modern view of the atom, molecule structure, chemical formulas, and chemical reactions. Topics in organic chemistry will include hydrocarbons, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, amines, and amides. Topics in biochemistry will include carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and metabolism. Prerequisites: MATH V01, or one year of high school algebra, or placement as determined by the college's multiple measures assessment process. Field trips may be required. Notes: This course is designed for students who are Allied Health Science majors. Formerly: CHEM V30; CHEM V30L. Transfer credit: CSU; UC.

This course is a survey of basic chemistry topics, including measurements, physical and chemical properties, the periodic table, nomenclature, chemical reactions, atomic and molecular structure, states of matter, and solutions. This course also serves as an introduction to laboratory techniques and chemical laboratory safety with experiments that illustrate typical chemical reactions and the principles covered in the lecture, with a focus on hands-on qualitative and quantitative experiments. Prerequisites: MATH V01 with grade of C or better, or placement as determined by the college's multiple measures assessment process. Recommended Prep: MATH V03. Formerly: CHEM V20; CHEM V20L. Transfer credit: CSU; UC.

This course stresses molecular structure, chemical and physical properties, and the preparation of organic compounds with an emphasis on reaction mechanisms, structure determination, synthesis, and applications. In addition, this course covers the utilization of the techniques of experimental organic chemistry, including physical and chemical methods of purification, separation, and structure determination, with an emphasis on synthesis and mechanisms. Spectroscopic techniques for structural elucidation are used extensively in this course. Field trips may be required. Prerequisites: CHEM V120B with a grade of C or better, or CHEM V01B with a grade of C or better and CHEM V01BL with a grade of C or better. Transfer credit: CSU; UC. Formerly: CHEM V12A; CHEM V12AL.
