Course Description
Understand the basic concepts of Biology as a science, structure and function of cells, metabolism which includes transport, photosynthesis and respiration, genetics, diversity of living things and nomenclature, origins of life, evolution, structure and function of plant and animal organ tissues, ecology, organism behavior and biotechnology, and practice solving problems using scientific methods. General Biology studies are accompanied by various process skills (minds on activity and hands-on activity) which will be used to solve problems in the field of Biology and its applications. Learning is delivered using the case method, presentations, discussions and practicums
