3 hours lecture, 3 hours laboratory; 4.5 credits Systems, ecological and evolutionary biology. Integration of plant and animal form and function with biological concepts and theories of evolution, genetics, development, homeostasis, ecology-biodiversity, bioenergetics and bio-informatics. (Not open to students who have completed, with a grade of C- or higher, the following course or courses: Biology *1080 [3], or both Biology 1072 [29] and Biology *1071 [34.1]). STEM variant course - Satisfies Pathways Required Core Life and Physical Sciences. Prerequisite or Corequisite: Math 1006 or Chemistry 1100 or 1050 or 1040 or 1200.

This course is for students majoring in Forensic Science, Cell and Molecular Biology, or Toxicology, or minoring in Biology, and who have a strong math and science background. Modern Biology I is the first half of an in-depth exploration of the basic properties of living systems on the molecular and cellular levels. Students will be introduced to cell structure, metabolism and respiration, photosynthesis, and genetics. Representative organisms from the prokaryotic and eukaryotic kingdoms are studied in detail. The laboratory portion of the course is designed to reinforce the concepts taught in the lecture and to teach basic laboratory skills. Note: Students who place into MAT 141 Pre-Calculus with a CAA of 90 or higher or MAT 241 Calculus I or above will start the Biology sequence in BIO 103. This course has a $25.00 material fee. This course satisfies the Required Core: Life and Physical Sciences area or the Flexible Core: Scientific World area of the Gen Ed Program.

This course is the second half of the Modern Biology sequence. It continues the in-depth exploration of the basic properties of living systems on the molecular, cellular, and organismal levels. In addition, evolution and ecology are introduced. Representative organisms from the plant and animal kingdoms are studied in detail. The laboratory portion of the course emphasizes phylogeny and teaches basic microscopy and dissection skills. This course is designed for students with a strong science background and those who are majoring in Cell and Molecular Biology, Forensic Science or Toxicology; or minoring in Biology. This course has a $25.00 material fee. This course satisfies the Required Core: Life and Physical Sciences area or the Flexible Core: Scientific World area of the Gen Ed Program.

Not recommended for non-science majors. A one-year, two semester course for students who plan to major in biological sciences, or prepare for a pre-professional program. Classroom and laboratory sessions focus on biological topics as they apply to all life, to recent findings and how they advance understanding of classical concept, the interaction of environmental and biological forces to produce life.
