Description

Fundamental principles of living organisms will be studied, including physical and chemical properties of life, organization, function, evolutionary adaptation, and classification. Concepts of cytology, reproduction, genetics, and scientific reasoning are included.

Laboratory activities will reinforce the fundamental principles of living organisms, including physical and chemical properties of life, organization, function, evolutionary adaptation, and classification. Study and examination of the concepts of cytology, reproduction, genetics, and scientific reasoning are included.

Lab required.

Upon successful completion, students will be able to: describe the characteristics of life; explain the methods of inquiry used by scientists; identify the basic requirements of life and the properties of the major molecules needed for life; compare and contrast the structures, reproduction, and characteristics of viruses, prokaryotic cells, and eukaryotic cells; describe the structure o
