Hide-BIOL00010 Fundamentals of Biology
Academic Year 2022/2023
This course provides an introduction to the general principles of biology and is intended primarily for students who have not previously studied the subject. A wide range of biological concepts will be covered, including cells, organisms and ecology. The overall aim of this module is to provide a basic understanding of biology and put this in the context of the many diverse and developing research areas that exist in biology today.
Learning Outcomes:
Upon completion of this course, students will have an understanding of the basic concepts of biology. They will understand the importance of accurate formulation of questions and the roles of observation, experimentation and use of existing knowledge in answering these questions. By studying specific topics, students will comprehend and be able to discuss the following:
(i) How environmental factors affect animal and plant populations; (ii) The factors which shape evolutionary development of animal and plant physiology; (iii) The interactions between cells and their environment and the structures within cells which are involved in these interactions; (iv) The diversity of form which exists in the living world.
