General Biology I is a 3-credit lecture course that introduces the fundamental principles of Biology focusing the fields of cell structure and function, molecular genetics, and evolution. Topics covered in the course include introductory chemistry, cell structure and function, cellular communication, metabolic processes, cellular reproduction, and introductory genetics.
Corequisite: ACBIO 111.
Outcomes:
1. Students will be able to demonstrate an understanding of matter, energy, and organization in living systems.
2. Students will be able to demonstrate an understanding of the biochemistry and metabolism of organisms.
3. Students will be able to demonstrate and understand the fundamental concepts of cell structure, function, and processes.
4. Students will be able to explain the major concepts of molecular genetics, including the flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA to proteins and how changes in genes impact cellular function, organismal health, and evolutionary trajectories.
