Biochemistry 152 - Introductory Biology II:How Life Works

Institution:

Hiram College

Subject:

Description:

The purpose of this course is to explore the myriad ways organisms function to reproduce, develop, gain nutrition and energy, manage waste, respond to the environment, and exhibit distinctive adaptations that have resulted from evolution. One key concept we will emphasize throughout all that we cover is the conservative nature of all of life's processes in all organisms. This is evident in the similarities we see in primary energy metabolism (i.e., cellular respiration and photosynthesis), other aspects of metabolism (biomolecular building blocks and the macromolecules they form), reproduction, protein synthesis, energy flow and nutrient cycling, and managing/regulating water intake and retention. All organisms also detect and respond to their environment on many levels (organismal, organ, cellular, and subcellular), and we see both similarities and differences among all of life in these respects. Offered yearly.
