Subject:

Description:

4 credits Prerequisites: Grade of C- or better in BI 201 or BI 211 or grade of Aor better in BI 101F or BI 112 or instructor consent. Background knowledge of cell biology and biochemistry, specifically familiarity with metabolic pathways (especially aerobic cellular metabolism & photosynthesis), cell division and genetics is required. There is no Math, Chemistry or Writing requirement currently in place however college level writing and math abilities will be an advantage to success in this course. BI 212 is designed for biology majors as an introduction to the study of organism form and function. The emphasis will be on comparisons of 2 major kingdoms of organisms: Plants & Animals. Study of tissue and organ evolution, diversity, structure, and physiology of representative groups of organisms in each major kingdom will be the foundation for comparing the anatomy and physiology. The course will include considerable lab work, including microscopic study of cells, tissues and organs and may include some field trips. This course replaces both BOT 202 and Z 202 in the Biology majors' sequence.
