CHEM-104 Fundamentals of Organic and Biochemistry
This one-semester course is designed mainly for pre-professional science students who are interested in the allied health field. This course will provide students with an introduction to organic and biochemistry. Students will be able to answer questions and solve problems involving nomenclature, physical properties, and the synthesis of aliphatic compounds such as alkanes, alcohols, carboxylic acids, aldehydes, and ketones. The major organic biomolecules such as lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates, including their function in cells and tissues, will be studied. The laboratory component will develop skills necessary to synthesize and analyze organic compounds.
