This learning community links BIO 11(Lecture 8P, 17013; Lab 8PL, 17031) with BIO 5050 (2P, 38014). This learning community will explore the human physiology and applied math (quantitative reasoning) concepts in the context of energy. Our courses will center around biological, ecological and environmental roles of energy such as energy sources, uses, conversions and sustainability. Gaining insight in significance of energy for human body as well as whole ecosystems will help students become educated consumers and  broad-minded health care professionals.

Professors S. Glaser & M. Ortiz

In this learning community Introduction to Modern Concepts of Biology (BIO 33; Lecture 13P, 17097; Lab 13PL, 17111) is linked to an Integrative Seminar (BIO 5050; 1P, 20321) and will introduce you to the structure of the cell, genetics and inheritance, ecology, and how organ systems contribute to the functioning of the human body. The Integrative Seminar will complement the introduction to these topics in biology by helping you learn mathematical applications related to these biological concepts. These applications include the collection of data and measurements using the metric system, the graphing of data, the calculation of rate and probabilities, the prediction of tides, and understanding food nutrition information.
