GRADUATION REQUIREMENT: Biology I is an introductory, laboratory-based course designed to relate basic information of living organisms, and their chemical and energy requirements, with their physical environment. The structure and function of cells, cell organization and reproduction, genetics, and living organisms' role in the environment are the focus of content. Students should be encouraged to relate modern biological techniques to real life situations and career opportunities. A part of this course focuses on preparation for the state Biology I exam.
