NSL- Organic chemistry and biochemistry is dedicated to the unique bonding characteristics and properties of compounds containing carbon. Students will learn the structure, properties and reactions of various organic compounds, including hydrocarbons, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids and amines. Students will use this information as foundation for examining complex compounds found in living systems: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. Laboratory activities extend lecture concepts and introduce the student to analysis and separation techniques. (LAB)
Prerequisites
Completion of CHEM&121 or CHEM&161 with a grade of 2.0 or higher.
