(Formerly BIO 111 / BIO 112) Nutrition is explored as an emerging science that combines biology and chemistry into an exciting field of specialization. This course is designed to explore the physiological mechanisms of nutrient metabolism and their interactions on human cellular biology. The characteristics and functions of nutrient groups are studied in their relation to their biological requirements and proper balance. Special attention is given to the relationship between an unbalanced diet, an altered metabolism and the disease process. Also considered are the unique biological features of each of the stages of life and their effect on nutrient requirements. (3 lecture, 3 laboratory hours) Laboratory fee applies.
