News reports deal with scientific issues that affect our lives on a daily basis.
We will cover a wide range of topics in this class that will help you on your way to answering these and other questions. We will discuss the structure of cells, how cells produce and use energy, how they reproduce, and how inheritance works. Next we study animal structure and function including nervous systems, endocrine control, muscles, circulation, immunity, respiration, digestion, homeostasis and reproduction. The laboratory exercises will reinforce the concepts presented in lecture.
