General Biology: Transformations of Energy and Matter

Catalog description

This course is part of the two-semester General Biology sequence, and is primarily focused on the core concept of transformations of energy and matter in a diversity of biological systems at all levels of organization. Students will learn about the chemical and molecular basis of life, cell structure and function, cellular metabolism, metabolism of multicellular organisms, homeostasis, regulation, and energy and matter transfer in ecosystems. As they learn concepts in biology, students will practice reasoning scientifically about real-world problems and applications.
