Course Descriptions

Biology - Communication

BIOL 338 Human Impact on the Environment

(3 units)

Considers the major areas where human use of resources and consequent

waste production (chemical, industrial and biological) have had a negative

impact on specific environments and on the species that inhabit them. An

attempt will be made to identify areas of future adverse human impact

and to evolve remedial solutions.

BIOL 339 Conservation Biology

(3 units)

Study of the principles of ecology applied to plant and animal populations

considered endangered, threatened or at risk. Investigates the complex

factors contributing to the dynamics, decline, extinction and perhaps

recovery of species. Develops a stewardship perspective rooted in

biological principles and considers the associated cultural, historical,

economic and political issues. Local, regional and global conservation

strategies are discussed.

CHEM 105 General, Organic and Biochemistry for Life

(4 units)

Covers the basic principles of general, organic and biochemistry as applied

to the biochemistry, pathophysiology, pharmacology and nutrition of

human body systems. Intended for students pursuing a degree in a variety

of health-related areas such as nursing. Recommended: High school chemistry

and/or CHEM 101. Prerequisites: Completion of the Entry-Level Mathematics

(ELM) requirement or consent of instructor. Co-prerequisite: CHEM 105L.

CHEM 105L General, Organic and Biochemistry for

Life Laboratory

(1 unit)

Covers the basic principles of weight and volume measurements,

solutions, suspensions, colloids, osmosis, energy of biochemical

transformations, buffered solutions, the properties of acids and bases

and pH balance in the biochemistry of human body systems. Intended for

students pursuing a degree in a health-related field. Prerequisite: Completion

of the Entry-Level Mathematics (ELM) requirement or consent of instructor.

Co-prerequisite: CHEM 105.

CHEM 311 Chemicals and the Environment

A survey of chemicals of natural and industrial origin found in the

environment, with emphasis on the chemical reactions of these substances

and the effect on the quality of life on planet Earth. The areas covered

are: chemical structures, inorganic and organic chemicals of natural and

synthetic origins and the reactions of these chemicals, the effects of these

chemicals on the environment (the atmosphere, soil, waterways, plants

and animals, especially human nutrition and health.) Intended for the

nonchemistry major.

CHEM 315 Science in Film and TV

(3 units)

Intended for the nonscience major, the goal of this course is to introduce

students to the fundamental concepts in the physical and life sciences.

Popular motion pictures, television programs and commercials, and video

documentaries that contain scientific themes will be used to introduce

relevant concepts, and will also serve as a common background from which

students can expand their scientific understanding. Also offered as PHYS 315.

Students may not receive credit for both.

CHEM 316 Chocolate: A Chemical Investigation

(3 units)

This course is designed to provide an introduction to the chemistry of

substances found in the plants in the natural environment and the way

in which they affect our quality of life. The focus will be on the science of

chocolate with additional plant and food chemistry discussed throughout

the semester. The course is structured so that each discussion is preceded

by the introduction of some basic chemical principles. These topics will

provide the basis for a fuller understanding of how scientists think and

approach problems. Hopefully, the basic working knowledge of chemical

principles and scientific literature developed in this course will allow

the student to participate in intelligent conversation on scientific topics

based on fact, not farce, throughout their life. The applications to real-life

examples are designed to show students just how much chemistry and

science in general permeates their everyday lives.

CHEM 341 General Biochemistry

(3 units)
