Course Goals: This course is a study of the organizational aspects of cells from molecular to organismic levels. Students learn to understand and interpret terms and discover principles covering cell anatomy, cell biochemistry, cellular respiration, photosynthesis, cell reproduction and genetics. A taxonomic survey of the five kingdoms is also covered. In laboratory activities students learn to perform basic mathematical calculations of converting between the metric and English systems of measurement and acquire experimental data and reason to the interpretation of principles underlying the observations including cause and effect relationships.
