BIOL 1406 - Biology for Science Majors I 4 credit hours. 3 lecture hours. 3 lab hours.
R W
Fundamental principles of living organisms will be studied, including physical and chemical properties of life, organization, function, evolutionary adaptation, and classification. Concepts of cytology, reproduction, genetics, and scientific reasoning are included.
Internet / Hybrid Classes
Tests may be administered at campus testing centers per discretion of the instructor. Students should be prepared to complete exams in a live environment in the time frame allowed by the instructor.
Additional Fees: Lab Fee $24
Measurable Learning Outcomes:
Upon successful completion of this course, students will: Describe the characteristics of life. Explain the methods of inquiry used by scientists. Identify the basic requirements of life and the properties of the major molecules needed for life. Compare and contrast the structures, reproduction, and characteristics of viruses, prokaryotic cells, and eukaryotic cells. Describe the structure of cell membranes and the movement of molecules across a membrane. Identify the substrates, products, and important chemical pathways in metabolism. Identify the principles of inheritance and solve classical genetic problems. Identify the chemical structures, synthesis, and regulation of nucleic acids and proteins. Describe the unity and diversity of life and the evidence for evolution through natural selection. Apply scientific reasoning to investigate questions and utilize scientific tools such as microscopes and laboratory equipment to collect and analyze data. Use critical thinking and scientific problem-solving to make informed decisions in the laboratory. Communicate effectively the results of scientific investigations.
