This introductory course defines biology and its relationship to other
sciences. We examine the overarching theories of life from biological
research and also explore the fundamental concepts and principles of
the study of living organisms and their interaction with the
environment. We will examine how life is organized into hierarchical
levels; how living organisms use and produce energy; how life grows,
develops, and reproduces; how life responds to the environment to
maintain internal stability; and how life evolves and adapts to the
environment.

This course is a part of our Community College (CC-OLI) series.
Courses in this series are particularly well-suited to the needs of
introductory community college courses, but are open for use by any
instructor or student.
