| Term: Spring Semester 2020 |
| Description: This course encompasses a broad range of concepts central to our understanding of how organisms function and evolve. We will investigate important biological processes, such as photosynthesis and metabolism, and systems, such as the cardiovascular and immune systems. We will also take a holistic view of biology and use our newly acquired knowledge to explore such diverse topics as: the evolution of infectious diseases, the consequences of development and design on the evolution of organisms, and how the physiology and behavior of animals might affect their responses to global climate change. |

| Instructor's comments about the book list: Hello Everyone, I am aware that this is a very expensive text book. For this reason, please feel free to substitute the 10th edition, which can be purchased used for around $20.00. Finally, I do not plan to order books through the campus bookstore, the Odyssey, so you will need to obtain a copy on your own. Please don't hesitate to email me if you have any questions: rbrodie@mtholyoke.edu |
