Course meeting times: CHEM 210 is offered continuously
Course Description: An introduction to the fundamentals of biochemistry covering biomolecules and
metabolism. Chemical and cellular foundations are explored including cell organization, organic chemistry, and
aqueous systems. The structure and function of biomolecules, including amino acids, proteins, carbohydrates,
lipids, and nucleic acids, are examined. Finally, the metabolism and energy transformation of biomolecules is
covered.
Course Outcomes: As a result of this course experience a student should be able to:
• Explain the elemental composition of biomolecules.
• Describe and articulate the biochemical role that carbon holds in biological organisms.
• Explain the importance of water, including its chemical and physical properties, for sustaining life.
• Classify and differentiate between the types of macromolecules found in nature.
• List the functions of proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids in the cell.
• Recognize the essential properties and functions of the cellular membrane.
• Describe the biochemical processes surrounding energy flow, production, and storage in the cell.
• Discuss the significant metabolic pathways used for energy production.

Each of these CHEM 210 student learning outcomes is measured:
Directly by: (1) Module application problems (with instructor feedback)
(2) Module Exams
(3) Cumulative Final Exam
Indirectly by an end of course student-completed evaluation survey
Course Delivery: This course is asynchronously delivered online and is composed of 40 - 50 hours of
reviewed module assignments with instructor feedback and 8 contact hours of secure online module exams.
Course Progression: It is the policy for all Portage Learning courses that only one module (lecture) exam is to
be completed within a ~48-hour period. Research on the best practices in learning indicates that time is
needed to process material for optimal learning. This means that once an exam has been completed, the next
exam may not be opened or taken until ~48 hours after the submission of the previous module exam. This
allows for instructor feedback/class expectations as the student moves through the material. Instructors, like
the College, are not available during the weekend; grading, therefore, is M-F and may take up to 72 hours
during these days. Also, it is the policy of Portage Learning to support a minimum of 21 days to complete a
course; this is not a negotiable time period. Please plan your time accordingly.
Note: Professors reserve the right to reset any exam taken in violation of these guidelines.
Required readings, lectures and assignments: Portage courses do not use paper textbooks. Students are
required to read the online lesson modules written by the course author which contain the standard information
covered in a typical course. Please note the exam questions are based upon the readings. Video lectures
which support each lesson module subject should be viewed as many times as is necessary to fully
understand the material.
Module Review Questions: The practice problems within the modules are not quantitatively part of your final
grade, but the module work is a pass/fail component of the course and will be reviewed for completeness by
the instructor. Be sure to answer all of the problems, being careful to answer the questions in your own
words at all times since this is an important part of adequate preparation for the exams. After you
answer the practice problems, compare your answers to the solutions at the end of the module. If your
answers do not match those at the end, attempt to figure out why there is a difference. If you have any
questions please contact the instructor via the My Messages tab.
Academic Integrity is a serious matter. In the educational context, any dishonesty violates freedom and trust,
which are essential for effective learning. Dishonesty limits a student's ability to reach his or her potential.
Portage places a high value on honest independent work. In a distance learning situation, we depend on the
student's desire to succeed in the program he or she is entering. It is in a student's own best interests not to
