The goal of BIOLOGY 143 is to equip first-year university students with a foundational understanding of essential biological processes and concepts, fostering a comprehensive appreciation for the intricate workings of life. Over the course of two months, students will delve into the core principles of biology, including photosynthesis, transpiration, cellular respiration, and growth regulation, gaining insights into how these processes sustain life. Additionally, learners will explore vital functions such as digestion, gas exchange, and excretion, alongside an introduction to basic genetics. Through a blend of theoretical knowledge and practical application, students will develop critical thinking skills, enabling them to articulate and analyse biological phenomena with confidence and precision. This course will not only enhance their scientific literacy but also prepare them for more advanced studies in the field, instilling a lifelong curiosity and respect for the natural world.
