Introduction to Biology Gain a solid foundation for a career in healthcare or medical professions with an understanding of biology. This course will help you learn how cells and DNA determine the structure and function of the human body which is essential to understanding the fundamental causes of human disease. 6 Weeks Access/ 24 Course Hrs. South Africa is ripe with pay-for-your-internship type programs which may be a good start. None of these require any more than an interest in marine biology. I run a similar Field Course but I'll leave you to decide where to go. Just be careful of approaching practicing scientists with the 'I want to study sharks' line. Biology is the natural science that studies life and living organisms, including their physical structure, chemical processes, molecular interactions, physiological mechanisms, development and evolution. Despite the complexity of the science, certain unifying concepts consolidate it into a. REVIEW OF BIOLOGICAL PRINCIPLES Develop an understanding of the physical, chemical, and cellular basis of life. Structure and Functions of Organic Molecules (carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, nucleic acids). Biology 2e is designed to cover the scope and sequence requirements of a typical two-semester biology course for science majors. The text provides comprehensive coverage of foundational research and core biology concepts through an evolutionary lens.
