Chemistry I vs Intro to Biology 1: which science first?

Either. Neither of these two courses lists a prerequisite, so take the one your program asks for first. Intro to Biology 1 covers the chemistry it needs in its own early chapters, so it does not expect Chemistry I.

In these two courses, biology: Intro to Biology 1 has a chapter on cellular respiration and photosynthesis. Chemistry I studies the energy of reactions in its thermochemistry and thermodynamics chapters, but has no chapter on photosynthesis.

No, both are lecture courses. Chemistry I has a separate lab course, Chemistry Lab (CHEM 111L), with an NCCRS recommendation for 1 semester hour, done as virtual labs online. See lab vs non-lab science credit.

Chemistry I (Chemistry 111) covers atoms, bonding, stoichiometry, gases, solutions, reaction rates, equilibrium, acids and bases, thermodynamics and electrochemistry. Intro to Biology 1 (Biology 100) covers the chemistry of life, cells and membranes, metabolism, respiration and photosynthesis, genetics, gene expression and evolution.

Chemistry I: NCCRS recommends 3 semester hours, lower division, in Chemistry among other subjects; ACE recommends 3 (ACE ID UPIS-0008). Intro to Biology 1: NCCRS recommends 3 semester hours, lower division, in Biology I and II among other subjects; ACE recommends 3 (ACE ID UPIS-0009).

Chemistry I: Chemistry, Earth Science, or Physical Science. Intro to Biology 1: Biology I and II, Ecology, Natural Science, or Integrated Science. Your college decides which requirement each one fills.

Chemistry I is longer by its syllabus. Chemistry I: 17 chapters and 76 instructional hours. Intro to Biology 1: 15 chapters and 66 instructional hours. Both are self-paced, so you finish as fast or as slow as you want.

Chemistry I: 100 multiple-choice questions, 50% of the grade. Intro to Biology 1: 118 multiple-choice questions, 50% of the grade.

Both use one split: quizzes 20%, the assignment 30%, the final exam 50%. A pass is 70 or more.

Chemistry I: Flowers, Paul, et al. Chemistry 2e. OpenStax, 2019, with other references. Intro to Biology 1: Clark, Mary Ann, Matthew Douglas, and Jung Choi. Biology 2e. OpenStax, 2018.

Chemistry I: yes, ACE ID UPIS-0008, 3 semester hours. Intro to Biology 1: yes, ACE ID UPIS-0009, 3 semester hours. ACE listings run three years and UPI Study renews them as they end; credit you have earned stays valid for 10 years.

Intro to Biology 2. In the “General biology” order on the Science and labs courses page, it follows Intro to Biology 1. Your program may set its own order.

Take it again: a failed Chemistry I final comes with one free retake. A passed final can be retaken too, but the original score stands; for quizzes, the average of your first two attempts counts.

You never forward it yourself. When Chemistry I reaches 100%, pay the $20 transcript on your Student Dashboard (www.upistudy.com/enrollments); after you pay, the dashboard takes you to the transcript request, you type in your college's transcript address, and UPI Study's registrar emails it there; a confirmation email follows. As an ACE course, it is also issued as a Credly badge.

ACE and NCCRS have over 2,100 cooperating colleges that will consider accepting credits; the final decision is with the universities. Search your school in Find My College and ask your registrar which courses Chemistry 111 and Biology 100 would count as. For the registrar: Chemistry I's NCCRS recommendation lists Chemistry and Intro to Biology 1's NCCRS recommendation lists Biology I and II.
