4 credits BI 211 is the first course in a sequence and provides a foundation and a pre-requisite for the subsequent courses BI 212 and in BOTH Botany 213 and Zoology 213 at LCC. This sequence is designed for Science majors planning to transfer to a four-year institution. 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. The emphasis will be on interactions between cell structures and their chemical composition to understand biological processes and the evolution of life. Topics include study of natural selection and origin of cells, cell structures, biochemical pathways, energy flow and molecular genetics. The process of scientific investigation is experienced through participating in laboratory activities and reading and analyzing current scientific articles. Note: BI 211 was formerly named BI 201 Cellular Foundations. A student who has taken this class under previous names may not take it again under this new name and receive duplicate credit.
