3.00 Credits
1 -107 hours total Limitation on Enrollment: This course is designed for individuals reading below the fifth grade level. Emphasis is on the development of reading skills which are interrelated and which combine to produce a competent reader. This course offers instruction and practice in basic learning skills. Major areas covered include reading comprehension, vocabulary development, spelling, time management, study skills, and basic computer skills. This program would be most beneficial for Welfare to Work (WtW) and Workforce Investment Act (WIA) recipients. This course is repeatable until the student reaches a level of proficiency at or above the fifth grade.
-
5.00 Credits
3 units 5 hours weekly (2 hours lecture, 3 hours lab) Advisory: Eligibility for ENGL 099, READ 099 and MATH 070. Basic structure and function of the human body. Elementary knowledge used by students entering an allied health field or non-transfer level. (AVC)
-
6.00 Credits
4 units 6 hours weekly (3 hours lecture, 3 hours lab) Advisory: Eligibility for College Level Reading and ENGL 101. A general education non-major biology course designed to acquaint the student with the nature of science, the unity of life processes, the diversity of living things, the interdependence of organisms in the biosphere, the mechanisms that have shaped life on Earth, and with humans as biological entities. The laboratory focuses on the kinds of living organisms. NOTE: Biology majors should take BIOL 110 and BIOL 120 instead of this course. [CAN BIOL 2] (CSU, UC, AVC) Special Note: BIOL 101 (formerly 3.0 units) is equivalent to BIOL 101X and BIOL 101L (formerly 1.0 unit) is equivalent to BIOL 101LX effective fall 1999 through summer 2005.

6.00 Credits
4 units 6 hours weekly (3 hours lecture, 3 hours lab) Advisory: Eligibility for College Level Reading and ENGL 101, and Eligibility for MATH 070. This course explores the principles of biology using the human species as its primary tool. It is an introductory level, transfer course designed for non-science majors, students who want to further their professional development, or to enrich their knowledge of biology in general and their bodies in particular. Topics discussed include the scientific method, cell biology, genetics, evolution, aging, major concepts of structure, function and pathology of most organ systems, as well as how humans interact with their internal and external environment. (CSU, UC, AVC)
-
6.00 Credits
4 units 6 hours weekly (3 hours lecture, 3 hours lab) Advisory: Eligibility for ENGL 099, READ 099 and MATH 070. This is an introduction course in the study of plants. This course deals with the structure of plants, how plants grow and function and types of plants. Plant ecology and geography will also be discussed. (CSU, UC, AVC)
-
3.00 Credits
3 units 3 hours weekly Advisory: Eligibility for ENGL 101 and MATH 070. A general education biology course dealing with current environmental issues. Topics include environmental sustainability, ecological principles, energy, global warming, species extinction, pollution and toxic wastes. (CSU, UC, AVC)
-
7.00 Credits
5 units 7 hours weekly (4 hours lecture, 3 hours lab) Prerequisite: Completion of MATH 102, and Completion of CHEM 110 or concurrent enrollment. Advisory: Completion of a general biology course is recommended, and Eligibility for College Level Reading and ENGL 101. A comprehensive and in-depth introduction for all biology majors (as well as physics, chemistry, engineering, computer science, and math majors who will concern themselves with biology) to the unifying principles of modern cellular biology, molecular biology and biochemistry. Topics include the structure of the atom, quantum mechanics, the nature of the chemical bond, general principles of thermodynamics and equilibrium, prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell structure, lipid chemistry and membrane biology, protein structure and function, photosynthesis and cellular respiration, nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) and their role in protein synthesis, principles of classical and molecular genetics, the control of gene expression, cell signalling systems, molecular embryology, evolutionary developmental biology, and biotechnology. Lab work includes investigations with live bacteria, protists, flowering plants and fruit flies as model organisms, and includes experiments in photosynthesis, enzymology, gel electrophoresis, genetics and biotechnology. This course stresses evolutionary mechanisms. [CAN BIOL 4] (CSU, UC, AVC)
-
7.00 Credits
5 units 7 hours weekly (4 hours lecture, 3 hours lab) Prerequisite: Completion of MATH 102. Advisory: Completion of a general biology course and/or BIOL 110, and Eligibility for College Level Reading and ENGL 101. A comprehensive, in-depth course designed for biology majors to complement the cell molecular perspective presented in BIOL 110. A survey of multicellular organisms, emphasizing morphology, systematics, evolution, physiology, h e r e d i t y, d e v e l o p m e n t , b e h a v i o r and ecology. Laboratories consist of dissection and analysis of representative taxa and student projects. Data analysis and preparation of scientific reports are taught and applied to individual research projects. [CAN BIOL 6] (CSU, UC, AVC)
-
3.00 Credits
3 units 100 hours total Prerequisite: Completion of BIOL 101 or BIOL 120. This is a field biology course to be conducted in a tropical region. Topics covered include wildlife ecology, animal behavior, plant ecology and conservation. This course is suitable for biology majors and non-majors seeking first-hand knowledge of tropical biology. Students will consult with the instructor regarding program costs and requirements. (CSU, AVC)
