Introduction to Chemistry
Even if chemistry tormented you in high school or college, you can master its principles! In this course, you’ll gain a solid foundation in the basics of chemistry. Along the way, you’ll learn how everything that goes on in your body depends on a chemical reaction.
You’ll gain interesting insights about your body’s use of food, the role of isotopes in the diagnosis and treatment of disease, nutritional deficiencies, the importance of enzymes, and the function of many specific chemicals in your body. This course also prepares you for a health-related career or for success in a college chemistry course.
