5/05 8/12
Biology Instructor
Responsible for the teaching of General Biology and Advanced Biology courses including associated activities. The General Biology course was an introductory course in cell structure, cell function, and the origin of life. Topics included aspects of general and biological chemistry, cell structure and organelles, photosynthesis, respiration and fermentation, cell cycle, mitosis, meiosis, general and human genetics, DNA structure and replication, protein synthesis, genetic control mechanisms, the genetic basis of speciation and evolution, and theories currently proposed to explain the origin of life. The Advanced Biology course covered principles of biological classification, briefly surveying the kingdoms of organisms, and comparing the body plans of plants and animals in terms of their structure and function, with emphasis on human anatomy and physiology. Systems for nutrient procurement and processing, gas exchange, transport, osmotic regulation and waste removal, movement, reproduction and development, integration, homeostasis, and responses to the environment in animals were compared.
