CHEM235

Students will be able to name, draw, predict products and write reaction mechanisms for organic compounds. Organic concepts will be extended to carbohydrates, lipids and protein structure, digestion and metabolism, with emphasis on understanding life processes. Laboratory skills will be developed, enhancing textbook coverage, and will include applications of polarimetry, titrimetry, chromatography and ultraviolet and visible spectrosopy. (Prerequisite: HS Chemistry or a grade of "C" or higher in CHEM 100 or equivalent)
