BIO 103 - Introduction to Human Biology
Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Course Description: This core curriculum course will concentrate on the quantitative aspects of human biology, including biochemistry, cell biology, molecular physiology and genetics. Emphasis will be placed on molecular mechanisms of cellular processes - such as signal transduction, differential gene expression or self-recognition - that underlie and control pivotal physiological functions of the human organism. Contested topics of modern biology will be introduced and exmined using scientific method. Course Learning objectives: Upon successful completion of the course, students should achieve a sound understanding of core concepts of biology and knowledge about the role of various biological macromolecules in the human body, how different types of cells are integrated into multicellular systems, and how organs and organisms develop and function. They will also learn how to apply the scientific method to analysis of various phenomena. Textbooks and On-Line Materials: Human Biology 7th Edition by D.D.
