BIO111 – General Biology I (lecture)<br />
Units: 3<br />
This course is the first in a two part series covering a general study of life processes, emphasizing basic<br />
concepts of biology suitable as a general education elective <strong>for</strong> non-science majors. Concepts to be covered in<br />
this first part include: Scientific method, <strong>and</strong> importance of scientific literacy, biological principles of life;<br />
levels of biological organization, importance of chemistry <strong>for</strong> life; characteristics of biological molecules, the<br />
cell as a living unit, variations in cell structure, characteristics of the plasma membrane, diffusion, osmosis,<br />
active transport, other transport methods <strong>for</strong> large molecules, energy capture <strong>and</strong> transfer: photosynthesis<br />
<strong>and</strong> glucose catabolism.<br />
Prerequisites: High School Diploma or equivalent; General Education courses are highly recommended<br />
Corequisites: BIO111L<br />
Restrictions: Accelerated Science<br />

Units: 3<br />
This course is the second in a two part series covering a general study of life processes, emphasizing basic<br />
concepts of biology suitable as a general education elective <strong>for</strong> non-science majors. Concepts to be covered in<br />
this second part include: cellular division: mitosis vs. meiosis, basic genetics: chromosomes, replication <strong>and</strong><br />
inheritance patterns, protein synthesis <strong>and</strong> the molecular functioning of cells, molecular biological techniques<br />
<strong>and</strong> their application to modern biological problems, comparative anatomy <strong>and</strong> physiology of animal organ<br />
systems, natural selection, evolution <strong>and</strong> speciation, diversity of Life, organisms <strong>and</strong> their environment;<br />
ecology <strong>and</strong> animal behavior.<br />
Prerequisites: BIO111 <strong>and</strong> BIO111L or equivalent<br />
