  • BIO 103: Principles of Biology

    4.00 Credits
    Mount Marty College

    Biology is the study of the structure and function of living cells with special consideration of the role of membranes and enzymes in cell functioning. Emphasis is placed on the central role of DNA in directing the construction and functioning of cells. Study of the energy-transforming processes of photosynthesis and respiration and how these processes "provide'' the energetic force necessary for thcontinued functioning of living systems - from cells to ecosystems is considered. Cell reproduction, DNA replication, chromosome separation during meiosis and the resultant predictable (and sometimes unexpected) patterns of inheritance are introduced. The relationship between genetic variation and evolution; the origin of life and the way in which subsequent evolution has given rise to the vast diversity of organisms which currently inhabit this planet are studied. Note: Either BIO 103 or BIO 106, but not both, may be taken to fulfill the basic science requirement. Either may be followed by a second biology course. Lecture and laboratory (fall)

  • BIO 106: Introduction to the Life Science

    4.00 Credits
    Mount Marty College

    Life Science is the study of the structure and function of biological entities ranging from single cells through multi-cellular organisms to entire ecosystems. During the first part of the course, emphasis is placed on mankind's role in causing and solving environmental problems. Emphasis then shifts to cellular structure and processes such as respiration, photosynthesis and cell division. During the latter third of the course focus is on structures and functions of the human body. This course is designed primarily for the non-science major and may not be used toward the biology major.
