How much is your time worth? Husson offers online courses at $360 per credit hour. This course, if you have to redo it, is worth $1080 (3 credit hours).

General Biology I focuses on biological principles that are fundamental to all of biology. This course covers the diversity of life and the commonalities of all living things including: molecular structure, cell structure and function, metabolism, cell division, heredity, and genetics. This course will also review the scientific process and the evaluation of scientific information. This course will prepare students for future courses in anatomy and physiology, cell biology, microbiology, biochemistry, genomic biology, and other biological specialties.

Honors (an additional $1080 at Husson). The goal of the course is to emphasize the diversity of species and for students to understand their relationship to, and their place in, the natural world. General Biology II is an introduction to the systematics, anatomy and physiology of the plant and animal kingdoms. This course will examine the structure and function of plant and animal organ systems in the framework of the evolution of adaptations. The course also concludes with an introduction to ecological systems.

E. The Living Environment E1: Biodiversity—Students describe and analyze the evidence for relatedness among and within diverse populations of organisms and the importance of biodiversity. E2: Ecosystem—Students describe and analyze the interactions, cycles, and factors that affect short-term and long-term ecosystem stability and change. E3: Cells—Students describe the structure and function of cells at the intracellular and molecular levels, including differentiation to form systems, interactions between cells and their environment, and the impact of cellular processes and changes on individuals. E4: Heredity and Reproduction—Students examine the role of DNA in transferring traits from generation to generation, in differentiating cells, and in evolving new species. E5: Evolution—Students describe the interactions between and among species, populations, and environments that lead to natural selection and evolution.

3) What is relevance to you?

4) Is this the only fuel your body can burn?

5) What is the relevance of this equation? Is it more or less efficient than the one above?

Glucose + 2 NAD+ + 2 Pi + 2 ADP → 2 pyruvate + 2 NADH + 2 ATP + 2 H+ + 2 H2O + heat

Diet

HUMOR Subject: The Final Word Here's the final word on nutrition and health. It's a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting medical studies. * The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans. * The French eat a lot of fat and also suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans. * The Japanese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans. * The Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and also suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans. * CONCLUSION: Eat and drink whatever you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you.
