Cell and Molecular Biology
BIO 001A cover principles and applications of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell
structure and function, biological molecules, homeostasis, cell reproduction and its
controls, molecular genetics, classical/Mendelian genetics, cell metabolism including
photosynthesis and respiration, and cellular communication. The philosophy of science,
methods of scientific inquiry and experimental design are foundational to the course.

Organismal Biology
BIO 001B is intended for biology majors. It is a survey of the basic biology and
diversity of unicellular and multicellular organisms. It emphasized general biological
principles, classification, structure, function and evolutionary adaptations of organisms
(including plants, fungi, animals, and unicellular organisms) to their environments.

Fundamentals of Biology
BIO 010 is recommended for the non-science major. The primary objective of this
course is to teach basic biological concepts as they relate to cells and organisms.
Consideration will be given to the cellular and chemical basis of life, genetics,
evolution, and ecology.

Biology for Education
BIO 015 is required for Liberal Studies students seeking a Multiple Subject Teaching
Credential and transferring to the California State University system. The primary
objective of this course is to teach biological concepts as they relate to the cell
and the organism as a whole. Consideration will be given to the cellular and chemical
basis of life, genetics, evolution, and ecology.

Human Anatomy
BIO 032 examines the structural organization of the human body: gross and microscopic
structure of the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, sensory, endocrine, cardiovascular,
lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, excretory, and reproductive systems, from cellular
to organ system levels of organization. This course is primarily intended for nursing,
allied health, kinesiology, and other health related majors.

Human Physiology
BIO 035 examines the physiological principles, function, integration and homeostasis
of the human body at the cellular, tissue, organ, organ system and organism level:
integumentary system, bone, skeletal, smooth and cardiac muscles, nervous system,
sensory organs, cardiovascular system, lymphatic and immune systems, respiratory system,
urinary system, digestive system, endocrine system, and reproductive system. This
course is primarily intended for Nursing, Allied Health, Kinesiology, and other health
related majors.
