Learning Objectives
This course defines the overarching theories of life from biological research and also explore the fundamental concepts and principles of the study of living organisms and their interaction with the environment. It will examine how life is organized into hierarchical levels; how living organisms use and produce energy; how cell grows, develops, and reproduces.
