Course Title: Introduction to Biology
Campus Course Code: BIOL 1333
Campus: UT Arlington
Program: GenEd
Course Description
Biology is the science of life, and a wide-ranging science it is. Some biologists study entire ecosystems; others delve into interactions of just a few molecules in a single organism. Some biologists look billions of years into the past, seeking the origin of life on Earth; others work to find commonality among the astonishing array of living things now on our planet. Such variety makes biology a broadly encompassing science; a biologist may need to rely on physics, chemistry, oceanography, geology, mathematics, climatology, computer science, and more, in addition to the essential core body of biological knowledge.
In this course, we introduce you to that core body of biological knowledge. We explore the molecular interactions that make life possible, the flow of energy through living things, the unity and diversity of life on Earth, the structures and functions of organisms, and the processes of evolution that inform all modern biological thought.
This course is for non-science majors. Biology 1333 and 1334 are offered in an online format; however, the lab course (BIOL 1282) for non-science majors is not offered online. TCCN: BIOL 1306
