COURSE DESCRIPTION:An integrated study of basic concepts concerning living organisms. Emphasis on diversity of living organisms, morphology, limited reproductive cycles, phylogeny and if quarter length permits, embryology.

OBJECTIVES:This course consists of three basic units. The first unit forms the general introduction and foundation for the course; providing the facts and concepts of cellular biology. Included in this unit is a brief overview of Biochemistry specific for cellular activity. The second unit lays the foundation for taxonomy and introduces the fundamental phylogenetic relationships among major groups of living organisms. In this unit, morphology, anatomy, phylogeny and reproduction (to a limited degree) is discussed pertinent to each group. The third unit emphasizes biological communities and ecosystems, exploring the interactions between organisms and the living and non-living components of their environments.
