BIOL 150 - Principles of Biology I (NSLD, GEEL)
First in a two-semester sequence intended for natural science majors. This course covers the molecular and cellular basis of life, enzymes, energy transformation processes, genetics, and gene expression, with a particular emphasis on applying quantitative skills to interpret biological processes. PREREQUISITE(S): MATH 117 or higher, OR PRE- OR COREQUISITE: MATH 150 or MATH 165 or higher. Assessment Level(s): ENGL 101 /ENGL 011 . Three hours lecture, three hours laboratory each week.
4 semester hours
Students should consult with a program advisor about the MATH options: MATH 117 or higher is the pre-requisite for Nursing and Health Sciences students, and MATH 150 or MATH 165 or higher is the pre- or co-requisite for Business or Biological Science majors.
Course Outcomes: Upon completion of this course, a student will be able to:
- Apply quantitative reasoning to analyze and interpret experimental results to reinforce biological principles.
- Apply basic mechanisms of heredity to predict inheritance of traits.
- Describe the basic principles of cellular chemistry and identify the structure and functions of macromolecules important to living things.
- Apply chemical principles to describe the basic processes of cellular metabolism.
- Explain the cellular and molecular basis of gene expression.
