II. Course description:
This class continues the study of living creatures from the molecular to the ecological levels. Structures, functions, and interactions of living things are emphasized from a continued perspective of scientific methodology. The course outline indicates two basic areas: 1 - units of study not covered in the first year of biology; ( i.e. plant taxonomy, plant structures and functions, microbiology, kingdoms protista & fungi, natural history, and Ecology) 2 - greater depth of study for essential units in biology and previously introduced in the first year of biology ( i.e. chemicals of life, Bioenergy and metabolism, genetics, and cell theory)
