**Additional Fee covers the cost of all course materials.** This course introduces students to the basic concepts of biology and how these concepts relate to the structure and function of the human body. Topics include cell structure & function, molecular biology, metabolism, cellular reproduction, and genetics. An introduction to human anatomy and physiology will also be presented. Students will integrate structure and function among all levels of biological organization. This course is specifically designed to provide students with the necessary background in basic biological concepts and molecular biology to be successful in the anatomy & physiology and microbiology prerequisite courses require by allied health programs such as nursing and medical imaging. This course does not substitute for programs that require BIO203 and BIO204. This course will satisfy the General Education requirement for Scientific Reasoning (previous area title: Science & Technology) for all programs. Course meets 3 hours lecture; 3 hours lab. Note: May be used as a prerequisite for Anatomy & Physiology I/Lab (BIO-203). Prerequisites: Writing Skills II (ENG-095) and Academic Reading III (ESL-098) or Reading Skills II (RDG-095); or Integrated ELL Level III (ELL-103); and a grade of C or higher in Foundations of Mathematics (MAT-093) or exemption by placing into higher level courses. 09/08/2021-12/15/2021 Hybrid Course Wednesday 06:00PM - 08:30PM, Synchronous, Room REMOTE
