This course is a one-term organic chemistry course in which students are introduced to the fundamentals of organic chemistry. Emphasis is placed on the structure, properties, synthesis, reactions and simple mechanisms of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, alcohols, ethers, aldehydes, ketones, amines, carboxylic acids and their derivatives, and biologically important molecules. Co-requisite: CHM310L Prerequisites: CHM200 and CHM200L Terms Offered: SU

This course is the practical laboratory application of the concepts learned in CHM310, Organic Chemistry. Emphasis is placed on the structure, properties, synthesis, reactions and simple mechanisms of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, alcohols, ethers, aldehydes, ketones, amines, carboxylic acids and their derivatives, and biologically important molecules.

Biochemistry involves the study of the molecular composition of living cells, the organization of biological molecules within the cell, and the structure and function of the biological molecules. The biological macromolecules which are included in this course are proteins, polysaccharides, and polynucleic acids (DNA and RNA), including monomeric units of these macromolecules. We will also examine the structure and function of lipids, a fourth important type of biological molecules and a major component of cell membranes. We will also study the biological transport in membranes. Co-requisite: CHM400L Prerequisites: CHM310 and CHM310L Terms Offered: FL
