Should I take Chem before taking Microbiology?

Published

I'm due to take Micro next semester, but am extremely nervous b/c I have not taken Chem yet. What do you think?

I haven't taken chem and didn't have trouble w/micro. Earned a B and would've had an A had I studied better for lecture exams.

Well I took Chem like a gazillion years ago, LOL and I am taking Micro in the Spring. I am not sure if it will help or not.

Chem doesn't really appy to micro. However, it'll keep coming up in bio and the phys. I dont understand why Anatomy and Phsyiology is sometimes taught as seperate classes, I think that this method of seperation of the two classes inevitably causes confusion down the road. Chem is really important in the phys especially in cellular metabolism, inter/extra cellular activities, bones, muscles, and the nervous system. Good luck!
