BIOL 2003 - Foundations of Biology for Biological Sciences Majors, Part II (3 Cr.)
Course description
BIOL 2003/2003H Foundations of Biology 2 builds upon core biological concepts taught in BIOL 1951, while focusing on cell biology and ecology. Students explore cellular processes including protein transport, cellular respiration, and photosynthesis, while investigating broader ecological concepts such as population dynamics, community interactions, biogeochemical cycles, energy flow, biodiversity and conservation. Through team-based research projects, students propose and design novel experiments using cell biology and ecological techniques. This multi-scale approach integrates molecular and ecosystem-level understanding, emphasizing both established scientific principles and the methods of discovery that revealed them.
