BIO-201 Biology I: Molecules to Cells
This is the first course in a three semester
sequence for biology majors. Course topics will
cover fundamental concepts including biomolecule
structure and function, energy metabolism
(respiration and photosynthesis), the biology of
inheritance, and gene structure, function, and
expression. Focus on frontier areas of biology
with an emphasis on molecular and cellular
processes. Examples may include human genetics,
bioinformatics, or cancer biology. Emphasis on
scientific problem-solving, including collection,
analysis, and interpretation of biological data.
This course is designed for students who plan to
take further coursework in biology or related
disciplines. BIO-210 may be substituted for
BIO-201 for all academic programs.
