BIOL 204 - CELL BIOLOGY

This course provides the student with a thorough
knowledge of cell structure and function. Topics
covered include biomolecules, membranes,
organelles, cell movement, cell signaling, gene
regulation, and transcription and translation.
Experimental techniques used in modern cellular and
molecular biology are also introduced.

Pre-requisites: BIOL 104 and 106 with a grade of “C” or
better, or written permission of the Instructor and School
Chair Chair.

PHARMACY - ENTRY TO
selkirk.ca/pharmacy

Year 2

The following is a suggested mix of courses to satisfy requirements for the Associate of Science Degree -
Entry to Pharmacy. Courses should be chosen only after consultation with a Selkirk College counsellor.

NOTES:
1. BIOL 212 is not currently offered. See a Selkirk College counsellor for options.

2. This program contains all prerequisites courses required by for entry into a B.Sc. in pharmacy at UBC
and U of A.

3. Students planning to apply to USask should choose all of their arts and general electives as follows:
— Two of the electives should be chosen from PSYC 100, PSYC 101, SOC 120 and SOC 121.

— The other two electives can be any courses in humanities or social sciences. With these electives, all
prerequisites for entry to USask will be complete.

4. Students are advised to ensure that their course selections will meet the degree requirements of the
subsequent institution(s) they plan to attend.

BIOL 206 - INTRODUCTORY BIOCHEMISTRY
This course provides an introduction to biochemistry

and enzyme structure and function. Experimental

Pre-requisites: Biology 104 and 106 with a grade of “C” or
better, or written permission of the Instructor and School

BIOL 212 - MICROBIOLOGY
This course is currently not running. See a Selkirk College
counsellor for options.

BIOL 212: Microbiology is a survey of the microbial
world, with discussions of the medical and ecological
significance of key organisms. The biology of
micro-organisms (including bacteria and viruses) is a
key focal point, but there will also be discussions of
immunology and pathology. The laboratory component
will build basic skills necessary to perform

and interpret research in the fields of medical
microbiology, industrial microbiology, environmental
microbiology, immunology and virology. A basic
knowledge of biology will be presumed, including
basic cell biology, ecology, physiology, biochemistry
and metabolism.

Pre-requisites: BIOL 104 and BIOL 106 (or another six
credits of 100-level Biology) with a grade of “C” or better,
or written permission from the Instructor and the Schoo!
Chair.

CHEM 125 — FOUNDATIONS OF CHEMISTRY II

CHEM 125: Fundamentals of Chemistry II is the
continuation for either CHEM 110 or CHEM 122.

The course consists of two major units: physical
chemistry and organic chemistry. The study of
physical chemistry begins with an investigation of
reaction rates (kinetics), followed by the principles
of equilibria applied to pure substances and aqueous
solutions, and an introduction to the laws of
thermodynamics. The second major unit is a survey
of the field of organic chemistry; topics include the
physical and chemical properties of alkanes and
alkenes, stereochemistry, and addition, substitution,
and elimination reactions. The laboratory work
involves the measurement of physical and chemical
properties as well as chemical syntheses.

Pre-requisites: CHEM 110 or CHEM 122 with a grade of
“C” or better, or written permission of the Instructor and
School Chair.

CHEM 212 - ORGANIC CHEMISTRY |

CHEM 212: Organic Chemistry I, explores the
relationship between the structures of carbon-
containing molecules and their physical and
chemical properties. Some topics from 1st-year
general chemistry are reviewed briefly: alkanes,
stereochemistry, alkenes, and nucleophilic
substitution and elimination reactions of alkyl
halides. The correlation between structure and
acidity is investigated, and the chemistry of alkynes
and alcohols is examined. Structure-determination
techniques, including IR and NMR, are explored. The
laboratory work for this course provides practical
experiences with separation/purification techniques,
molecular synthesis, and qualitative analytical
methods applied to organic compounds.

Pre-requisites: CHEM 125 with a grade of “C” or better, or
written permission of the instructor and Schoo! Chair.
