Biological Science (BSC)
Science is made up of various branches that include biology, physics and chemistry. In this course, you will be introduced to areas of chemistry that can be applied to everyday life and future science courses. You will analyze your observations of the scientific method, understand physical and chemical changes, explore biological macromolecules important to life and understand how pH, temperature and concentration affect enzyme activity. Please note that lab supplies required by this online course take time to order and ship. If you choose to enroll in this course, it is your responsibility to make sure that you follow up on lab related communications as needed in order to secure your lab supplies in a timely fashion. Adding this course to your schedule after the start of class may result in obtaining your lab supplies late.
This course will examine basic concepts of cellular biology, developmental biology, genetic variation and heredity, and evolution. Laboratory sessions will involve mitosis, embryology, heredity and recombinant DNA technology, and biochemical evolution.
This course provides an overview of tissue types and their identification and function, as well as the integument, skeletal and muscular human body systems.
