Cultivation, control, metabolism, body’s defense against disease, microbial genetics, laboratory tests, and contemporary diseases are discussed. Methods used in the laboratory include standard bacteriological techniques (culturing, staining, biochemical testing, sensitivity testing etc.) as well as some molecular and immunological techniques, such as PCR and ELISA. Laboratory work also includes identification of unknowns, and/or independent research projects. Prerequisite: BIO 30, CHEM 30A ,or CHEM 1A with a minimum grade of C Strongly Recommended: BIO 7A with a minimum grade of C, and ENG 1A with a minimum grade of C BIO 10 INTRO TO THE SCIENCE OF BIOL 4.0 Units This course focuses on basic principles of biology, including scientific investigation and the study of the nature of living things. Focus is on student understanding of evolution and the unity and diversity of life from the molecular level to ecosystems and biosphere. Designed for non-majors in biology and biomedical sciences. BIO 20 CONTEMPORARY HUMAN BIOLOGY 3.0 Units A study of the Human organism, beginning at the cellular level, emphasizing organ systems, and also including topics of genetics and biotechnology. (Note: Formerly BIOL 20.) BIO 30 INTRO TO COLLEGE BIOLOGY 4.0 Units Basic principles of biology. Cell structure and function, cell division, cell metabolism, reproduction, genetics, taxonomy, origin of life, and evolution. Laboratory emphasis on developing various laboratory skills, using the metric system, collecting data, graphing, interpreting data, and preparing for and taking laboratory exams.
