CHEM 1300 — Introduction to Organic and Biochemistry
| Lecture/Lab This course is a one -semester survey covering the effects and identification of medicinal and biological compounds. Coursework and laboratory experiences cover the fundamental aspects of organic chemistry and biological chemistry. The chemistry, biological activity and environmenta l consequences of each compound and process will be explored including the impact and associated problems, mechanisms of dispersal and highlighting some solutions to environmental problems. Topics include metric conversions, atomic structure, chemical bond ing, chemical structures, chemical reactions, pollutant hydrocarbons, natural resources, recycling, changes in energy, solutions and colloids, pH and buffers, organic functional groups, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, enzymes, and basic metabolism.
