Lewis & Clark Moodle

An introduction to core principles that underlie, all of biology, illustrated through, evidence-driven examples centered on integrative, organismal biology and organisms' interactions, with the biotic and physical environment. We will, explore the evolution of life, flow of information, within and among individuals, the influence of, structure on function at scales from individuals, to ecosystems, the transformations of energy and, matter in space and time, and the dynamic systems, that characterize Earth and its inhabitants., Topics will vary according to faculty expertise., See department website for specific section, details. Can be taken before or after BIO 202.

An introduction to core principles that underlie

all of biology, illustrated through

evidence-driven examples centered on interactions

among molecules and cells within organisms. We

will explore mechanisms of inheritance and

mutation fundamental to the evolution of life,

flow of information from DNA through proteins to

cellular and organismal function, the relationship

between structure and function at scales from

molecules to individuals, the transformations of

energy and matter through biochemical and

physiological pathways, and the dynamic systems

within and between cells. Topics will vary

according to faculty expertise. See department

website for specific section details. Can be taken

before or after BIO 201.
