Diversity of Life
Course Description: BIO-141
2 lect., 3 lab., 3 cr.
This course offers the non-science major an opportunity to study representatives
of the major groups of bacteria, protistans, plants, fungi, and animals in both lecture
and lab. Emphasis will be placed on the major characteristics of each group. The interrelationships
among these organisms will be studied both through discussion and through field trips
to local sites. The global loss of biodiversity and its significance will be discussed.
Students are responsible for their own transportation on field trips.
