Description
The study and principles of structure and function of organisms at the molecular and cellular levels. A detailed exploration of the chemistry of life, the cell, and genetics. This course covers the content of BIO 181 Biology I which is an undergraduate course for Science majors. BIO 181, Biology I, is a foundational course that delves into the fundamental principles of biology, offering students a comprehensive exploration of the building blocks of life. This course is designed to instill a deep understanding of the intricate workings of living organisms, starting at the cellular level and expanding to the broader concepts of genetics, evolution, and ecology.The curriculum begins with an exploration of cell biology, covering topics such as cell structure, function, and metabolism. Students will then journey into the fascinating realm of genetics, unraveling the mysteries of inheritance, DNA structure, and gene expression. The course extends its focus to the evolutionary processes shaping the diversity of life, examining principles of natural selection and speciation. Ecology takes center stage as students investigate the interactions between organisms and their environments, exploring ecosystems, population dynamics, and ecological relationships.Through engaging lectures and hands-on laboratory experiences, students will develop a strong scientific foundation, honing their analytical and critical-thinking skills. Assessments, including exams, quizzes, and laboratory reports, will gauge comprehension and application of biological concepts. BIO 181 lays the groundwork for subsequent studies in the biological sciences, fostering a profound appreciation for the complexity and beauty of the natural world.
