Learning Outcomes
- Describe the structure/function relationships at all levels of biological organization","from the chemical and physical properties of molecules and cellular structures to their developmental and evolutionary context.
- Discuss the flow of genetic information","from gene/protein expression and regulation to the multiple molecular mechanisms used to respond to environmental change.
- Explain the laws of energy and matter","the biochemical mechanisms of energy conversion in plants and animals","and the role evolution plays in the efficient use of resources.
- Describe the molecular mechanisms of evolution","how new species can arise","and the importance of natural selection and relative fitness within a population.
- Explain the inter-relatedness of complex biological networks and how these systems are controlled and respond to environmental changes.
