Biology 10/11: Introductory Biology at College of Alameda

    This is an introductory biology course designed for non-science majors. The course will begin with a basic introduction to scientific inquiry and the field of biology. We will spend the first part of the course studying the concepts that are key to understanding biology including basic chemistry, cell structure and the biochemical nature of heredity. Students will learn how the genetic material that directs conception and development has provided for continuity among all species since life began on Earth. Next, we will study the structure and function of mammals focusing on those systems that model broader biological concepts. Finally, we will study the diversity of organisms on Earth and investigate the ecological relationships between them.
