BIOL 205 INTEGRATIVE ORGANISMAL BIOLOGY - 3 semester hours
F, Sp
An integrative course examining how organisms cope with environmental challenges by investigating
the requirements for life at the level of individual cells and multi-cellular organisms, the anatomical and
physiological properties of cells, tissues and organ systems, and how these properties allow organisms to
interact successfully with their environment. Emphasis will be placed on the study of eukaryotic groups
particularly plants and animals.
