majors,
introduction
to
the
principles
of
biology
as
they
relate
to
cellular
and
organismal
level
processes.
Topics
include
cell
structure
and
major
fundamental
metabolic
processes
such
as
energy
flow
in
biological
systems,
protein
synthesis
and
aspects
of
genetics.
Includes
a
survey
of
human
anatomy
and
physiology
with
topics
relating
to
human
health.
Satisfies

What
you
should
learn
in
this
course:

should
develop
a
basic
understanding

core
concepts
of
biology.
Evolution:

selection,
and
genetic
drift.
Structure
and
function:
Biological
structures
exist
at
all
levels
of
organization,
from
molecules
to
ecosystems.
Information
flow,
exchange,
and
storage:
Organisms

genetic
and
epigenetic
information
that
influences
the
location,
timing,
and
intensity
of
gene
expression.
Pathways
and
transformations
of
energy
and
matter:
All
organisms
require
energy
and
rely
on
chemical
transformations
of
matter
to
survive.
Systems:
Living
systems
comprised
of
molecules,
genes,
cells,
tissues,
organs,
individuals,
and
ecosystems
are
interconnected
