Institution:

SUNY College of Agriculture and Technology at Cobleskill

Subject:

Description:

2 class hrs.; 1 two-hr. lab. - 3 credits FALL, SPRING This course is a survey of the fundamentals of biology starting with molecules that make up life, leading to cells and multicellular organisms, and on to populations, ecosystems and human impact. Rather than a detailed exploration of each topic, the course will lead to an understanding of the unifying principles common to all biological species – such as structure and function, homeostasis, metabolism and reproduction – while highlighting the diversity of organisms that make up the web of life. Articles chosen from current events will highlight the application of fundamental concepts to specific topics in health and disease, society and/or the environment. The lab will emphasize the scientific method with hands-on exercises on both ends of the scale – both molecular techniques and assessing ecological communities.
