Chemistry Applications – Biochemistry

Biochemistry explores the fascinating intersections of chemistry and biology. This course delves into the molecular processes and reactions necessary for life. Students first review the foundations of chemistry while focusing on the importance of carbon in living things. In this course, students explore a selection of topics ranging from determining concentration and molarity of solutions, the significance of water, and the structure and function of biological molecules as applied to food science, nutrition, and metabolism. Students do an independent research project to learn about a personal interest and how it applies to the concepts of biochemistry. Honors goes deeper into advanced concepts, prepares students for college science with higher-stakes assessments such as closed-note tests, and requires algebra to solve problem sets.
