Complete one semester (30 hours) of Biology 1A in 8 weeks
GENERAL COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This course is a comprehensive examination of the human organism in the context of the principles and structures characteristic of all living things. It begins with a survey of these principles and structures. The remainder of the course focuses on the molecular biology, biochemistry, cell biology, histology, and genetics of the human organism.
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
The general objective of this course is to prepare students for future courses in biology or health science. To do so, students will be introduced to the content of human biology and laboratory practices.
At the end of this course, students will understand and be able to describe:
1. Understand the chemical basis of life and the organization of living systems, as well as synthesize the role of water in biological life, and the influence of acids and bases on cellular structure and function.
2. Identify the different architectural arrangements of biological macromolecules (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids), and outline the roles and functions these arrangements fulfill in biological processes.
3. Outline the concept of metabolism as a set of organized, enzyme-mediated reactions, within the perspective of cell energetics and the mechanism, kinetics, and regulation of enzyme function.
4. Distinguish between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and explain the functions of subcellular structures (organelles and supramolecular assemblages).
5. Recognize the mechanisms that allow cellular transportation and intercellular communication/recognition.
6. Explain the processes of cellular respiration (aerobic and anaerobic) and illustrate the process of photosynthesis as it relates to the evolution and continued sustainability of life on Earth.
7. Compare and contrast the cellular reproductive processes of mitosis and meiosis, including an analysis of all their phases, origins, and functions.
8. Synthesize the laws governing Mendelian genetics at the organismal level, including the chromosome theory of inheritance and its applications.
9. Understand the basis of molecular genetics, from DNA structure and function to the processes governing the flow of genetic information (gene expression).
10. Evaluate the importance of current and potential applications of biotechnology and genomics for the future of science, with emphasis on human health.
