Pre-requisites: Biochemistry I (CHM 310)
Co-requisite:
CHM 313 (Biochemistry Laboratory II)
Grading: The
average of 4 exams (each worth 100 points) will be 80% of final score
Each problem set will be
1% of final score
The
total lab score (CHM 313) and the problem sets will be 20% of final score
Final scores will be scaled to 100
points
Minimum
guaranteed curve (final curve can be more generous, but not less):
score
grade
90-100 A
80-90 B
70-80 C
60-70 D
<60 F
Course objectives: Upon successful completion of this course, a
student will be able to
- Explain the metabolic pathways for the
synthesis and breakdown of the major types of
biomolecules (carbohydrates, amino
acids, nucleotides, and lipids)
- Explain the integration and regulation
of the major metabolic pathways
- Predict how changes in specific cellular
conditions would alter the major metabolic
pathways
- Predict how changes in specific
metabolic reactions would alter overall cellular
metabolism
