The first semester of this two-semester lecture/laboratory course concentrates on the cell as the basic unit of life. After establishing a foundation of biochemical principles, this course investigates cell structure, cellular functions, cellular respiration, and photosynthesis. The course concludes with an examination of cellular reproduction and the genetic bases of inheritance. Laboratory work provides students with the basic skills necessary to work in advanced laboratory situations. The course is intended for students planning to transfer as science majors. Pre-allied health students should enroll in Principles of Biology I/Lab (BIO101). The course meets General Education "Science and Technology" Requirement Area 5. Coursemeets: 3 hrs. lecture; 3 hrs. lab. Prerequisites: Writing Skills II (ENG095) and Fundamentals of Algebra (MAT094) or placement and Academic Reading III (ESL098) or Reading Skills II (RDG095) or placement equivalency.
