Presents the principles of life and life processes with an emphasis on cellular chemistry, cellular structure, cellular energetics, evolution, molecular biology, genetics, and ecology of living organisms. Field trips may be required to fulfill the objectives of the course.

Builds upon BIO 3A with emphasis on the origins of life, plant and animal structure and physiology, evolutionary relationships of taxonomic groups and ecology. Field trips will be required to fulfill the objectives of the course.

An introduction to biochemistry and molecular biology. Includes discussions of the structure and function of biological molecules, energy production, metabolic pathways, genetic information, storage and retrieval. Designed for biology majors and health pre-professionals. Field trips may be required to fulfill the objectives of the course.

Diversity of unicellular and multicellular organisms. Emphasizes general biological principles, classification, structure, function and evolutionary adaptations of organisms (plants, fungi, animals, and unicellular organisms) to their environments. Intended for biology majors completing the Biology AS-T degree; may also be taken by Biology A.S. majors.

A survey of microorganisms relating to health and disease for biology majors and pre-professionals. Satisfies microbiology requirement of Saddleback's Nursing Program. Before enrolling, please visit http://www.saddleback.edu/faculty/eininns/biology.htm for essential information about this course.

An integrated study of the basic principles of biology, with emphasis on the principles of structure and function, genetics, development, evolution and ecology. Field trips will supplement laboratory work.

Focuses on the processes of DNA replication, DNA recombination, gene expression, and mutation in diploid organisms. Includes a survey of human genetics and genetic disorders. Field trips may be required to fulfill the objectives of this course.

Emphasis will be on both the theory of evolution and the evidence for evolution. A non-majors course for students with little background in the sciences.

A basic introductory course on human diseases and disease processes. Relates disease and the disease process to the human anatomical and human physiological systems. This course does not meet the requirements of anatomy, physiology or pathophysiology for the nursing students.

Laboratory and/or field experience for advanced students in the biological sciences. Focuses on experimental design, good laboratory practices, equipment use and care, presentation of results, laboratory safety and bioethics.

Advanced laboratory and/or field experience for students in the biological sciences. Focuses on equipment use and care, data collection, analysis, and interpretation, presentation of results, laboratory safety and bioethics (formerly BIO 150).
