1. Providing the fundamental concepts in biology, including prokaryotes; protists;
fungi; plant and animals.
2. Providing information in structure, growth, nutrition, transport, reproduction,
development, and control systems of plants and animals

Course Content
|
This course will introduce the fundamental concepts in biology, including
prokaryotes; protists; fungi; plant and animals. They will learn structure, growth,
nutrition, transport, reproduction, development, and control systems of plants and
animals. This course will also focus on relationships between structure and
function with respect to evolutionary adaptation and changes in different systems
of plants and animals. Organization of cells into tissues to organs and organ
systems in plants and animals will be studied experimentally in the practical course
hours. Moreover, structural and functional relationships between digestive,
reproductive and transport systems in selected systems will be examined during
this lab.
