The lab section of the course in organic chemistry and biochemistry for health-related and non-science majors. Topics include functional groups reactions nomenclature and application to biochemical systems. Laboratory work is designed to familiarize students with properties identification and synthesis or organic and biochemical compounds with emphasis on biochemical application.

Course Outcomes
1. To provide in one semester as broad a background as possible in organic chemistry and biochemistry 2. To develop an appreciation and a concern for the vital role that organic chemisty and biochemisty play in today’s society. The relationship of organic and biochemistry to biological processes, its application to daily life and environmental and health-related problems is emphasized
