CHM 1214 – Survey of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry.
Course Description Provides an introduction to organic chemistry and biochemistry. This survey will include an overview of the properties, structure, nomenclature, reactions of: hydrocarbons; alcohols, phenols, ethers, halides, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, esters, amines, amides; the properties, structure, and function of carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and enzymes, as well as, intermediary metabolism. Topics include: basic principles; hydrocarbons; hydrocarbon derivatives; heterocyclic rings and alkaloids; carbohydrates; lipids and fats; proteins; nucleic acids; and intermediary metabolism. Laboratory experience supports classroom learning.
