Chemistry for Life Sciences

Midterm Exam

Course Introduction

Chemistry for Life Sciences provides a foundational understanding of chemical principles with a focus on their applications in biological systems. The course introduces students to atomic structure, chemical bonding, thermodynamics, acids and bases, and the properties of biomolecules such as proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids. Emphasis is placed on how chemical reactions and interactions drive processes critical to life, including metabolism, cellular communication, and genetic information transfer. Through lectures and laboratory work, students develop practical skills and analytical approaches essential for studies in biology, medicine, and related health sciences.
