Transfers ToCSUDescriptionThis combined lecture and laboratory course provides the non-biology major with an introduction to living things and their environment. Students use experimentation and investigation to develop important critical thinking skills. Students learn about the process of science, the building blocks of life, the role and regulation of DNA, how populations change over time, the movement of energy within and between life forms, and how species interact with each other and their surroundings. By the end of the course, students will be able to apply an understanding of biological concepts to current issues and their impacts on society. This is an introductory course using biological concepts. Topics covered include the structure and function of organisms, inheritance, evolution, and ecology. This course was formerly known as Biology 3. Not open to students with credit in Biology C1001 and C1001L (formerly known as Biology 10 and 10L).
