Institution:

Bard College

Subject:

Description:

An introductory survey of life at the cellular level. Beginning with an introduction to the evolution and complexity of life, including prokaryotes and viruses, the course examines the commonality of life at both the biochemical and cellular levels. One primary focus is energy transfer in living systems (fermentation, respiration, and photosynthesis), followed by attention to information transfer (genetics, nucleic acid replication, transcription, and translation). The course ends with discussions of more complex topics (genetic engineering, human genetics, and immunology). The laboratory portion provides an introduction to the methodologies and instrumentation found in the modern biology lab. Students are strongly encouraged to enroll concurrently in Chemistry 141. Prerequisites: eligibility for Q courses and high school biology and chemistry.
