    Description
    This first semester of a course sequence, intended for majors, covers: major biological principles and applications of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell structure and function, biological molecules, homeostasis, cell reproduction and its controls, molecular genetics, classical/Mendelian genetics, cell metabolism including photosynthesis and respiration, and cellular communication. It includes a survey of the biology and diversity of organisms and examines the basic principles governing evolution of organisms and interactions between organisms and the environment. The course sequence emphasizes classification, structure and function of organisms, ecological principles, and mechanisms of evolution. The philosophy of science, methods of scientific inquiry and experimental design are foundational. (C-ID BIOL 135S includes BIOL 1 and BIOL 2)
