My physics and biology courses are only listed as 'Cell and Molecular Biology' and 'General Physics I,' there is no separation between the lab and lecture. How do I show some universities that ask for labs that I participated in one?

You can usually tell by the credit hours. If the class is lecture/lab combined it's probably 4 credits. If they are separate, lecture generally counts for 3 and lab for 1. In my experience, bio classes were usually combined and chem classes were together. I would assume most schools are prepared for this and will be able to determine if you took the lab or not.
 
If you're applying using Pharmcas, there is a spot where it asks if the course was lecture/lab combined. Schools will usually check that stuff out anyway. My courses were similar...there was no lab grade and lecture grade separated on my transcript. If you aren't applying to a Pharmcas school and worried about it, I would suggest contacting admissions for help.
