BIOL 1154 - Principles of Biology I BIOL 1154 - Principles of Biology I 4 Credits Introduces important biological principles and is intended for biology and biology-related majors. This course is the first of a 2-semester course series and, also serves as a There is an emphasis on molecular and cellular levels of biology surrounding the core theme of evolution. Topics include chemistry of cells, cell structure and function, metabolism, genetics, and evolution. Labs emphasize the process scientific inquiry where students learn to propose and test hypotheses, as well as analyze, synthesize and communicate results. Students also learn the proper use of microscopes and the safe handling of chemicals, tools and other lab equipment while conducting hands-on experiments. Requires one year HS chemistry or a college chemistry course. Recall, explain, and apply concepts, knowledge, and vocabulary of biology at the level necessary for success in a second semester general biology course for science majors. Demonstrate understanding of scientific theories in biology. Demonstrate quantitative reasoning skills at a level appropriate for second semester science majors. Formulate and test hypotheses by performing laboratory experiments in biology that include the collection of data, statistical analysis, graphical presentation of results, and interpretation of sources of error and uncertainty.Communicate experimental findings both orally and in writing. Understand and apply knowledge of use o
