This is the first semester of a two-semester Biology sequence intended for biology/science majors or students looking to transfer laboratory science credits. Biology I lecture concentrates on living organisms at the cellular level. Specific topics include biochemistry, metabolism, respiration, photosynthesis, the cell cycle, meiosis, DNA, protein synthesis, gene regulation, and Mendelian genetics. The laboratory stresses hypothesis-based investigation. Students will work in groups to propose hypotheses, design experiments, and analyze data.
