BIO 200 - Integrative Biology


Description
This course will examine how structure and function in multicellular organisms is integrated. We will explore how a single cell develops into the complex, integrated systems of an organism in which groups of differentiated cells perform specific tasks. We will study specialized cell functions in the context of organismal physiology, and including signaling, metabolism, and transport. Using diverse examples from multiple kingdoms, we will explore how tissues, organs, and organisms have adaptations optimized for their environments, in order to utilize resources and to maintain homeostasis despite environmental stresses. Offered every semester.
