Spring - 2 Credits

The biology of humans shares much with that of microbes, plants and much simpler animals. These commonalities in chemistry, structure, physiology, genes and history are the focus of Introductory Biology lecture 1101 and 1102. Far more than a set of facts, biology is an integrated science that can be approached at levels of organization from the molecule to the biosphere. In biology lecture we navigate and mine this rich body of knowledge for deep understanding, the well-established mechanisms, structures and pathways but also the scientific process by which new knowledge about life grows.
