Biology

Provides an introduction to basic biological concepts with a focus on living cells. Topics include chemical principles related to cells, cell structure and function, energy and metabolism, cell division, protein synthesis, genetics, biotechnology, and evolution.

Provides an introduction to basic animal and plant diversity, structure and function, including reproduction and development, and the dynamics of ecology as it pertains to populations, communities, ecosystems, and biosphere. Topics include classification and characterizations of organisms, plant structure and function, animal structure and function, principles of ecology, and biosphere.

Selected laboratory exercises paralleling the topics in BIOL 1111. The laboratory exercises for this course include chemical principles related to cells, cell structure and function, energy and metabolism, cell division, protein synthesis, genetics, and biotechnology.

This course is comprised of selected laboratory exercises that parallel the topics covered in BIOL2107 and is in-tended for students majoring in biological or other sciences. The course provides a hands-on approach to fundamental biological processes and interactions occurring at the molecular, cellular levels, and organismal, and population levels of organization. The laboratory exercises for this course include: laboratory safety; scientific method and investigation; microscopy; basic biochemistry; cell biology; bioenergetics; molecular genetics; principles of inheritance; evolution and natural selection.
