BIO 152 General Biology II Credits: (4)
This course focuses on animals and systems biology, including a survey of animal types and of the organismal biology of animals. Organisms’ methods of response and adaptation to the environment and to each other are also emphasized. Laboratory includes hands-on dissection of preserved animal specimens in a classroom setting, under the supervision of a mentoring instructor. BIO 152 assumes a basic knowledge of chemistry, cell structure and function, and the concepts explaining the genetic unity and evolutionary diversity of species. Prerequisite(s): BIO 151 or permission of instructor. The combination of BIO 121 and BIO 152 does NOT count as a sequence for the Math/Science degree.
Designation(s): Liberal Arts
Learning Outcomes
- Describe the anatomy and physiology of (and relationships among) animal organ systems.
- Describe key elements of animal reproduction and development.
- Demonstrate an understanding of key ecological principles.
- Compare, contrast, and identify examples of the nine major animal phyla (both grossly and microscopically).
- Identify and distinguish between various mammalian tissue types when viewed through the microscope.
- Demonstrate competency in hands-on laboratory skills, including the ability to safely dissect preserved specimens, properly use a light microscope, and work safely, effectively and efficiently with peers.
