BIOL 150G. Investigating Biological Concepts 4 sem hrs
An investigative approach to learning fundamental concepts in biology from molecules to cells to organisms. Concepts will include: the process of scientific inquiry, basic biochemistry, basic cell function (cellular respiration, photosynthesis, protein synthesis, genetics, cell division), and fundamentals of animal and plant physiology. Labs will emphasize problem-based or inquiry based learning. Lectures will combine traditional format with problem-posing and questioning.
