    Course Title: INTRODUCTION TO BIOLOGY

    Course Code:

    Credit Units: 03

    Course Objectives:
    The objective of this course is to give students an understanding of the very basic
    molecules of life-DNA,RNA, proteins and how these molecules, when form further
    complex molecules like carbohydrates, vitamins and lipids, then functioning of body
    takes place. Since technology is advancing in every field, emphasis is also given on the
    understanding of application of some biotechnological concepts used in our daily life like
    biofuels, biofertilizers.

    Pre-requisites:
    Basic knowledge of biology

    Student Learning Outcomes:


    On completion of the course the student will be able to:

     Define and explain phylogenetic tree, have a basic understanding of the biological
    mechanisms by which they are created.

     Identify and classify the biological organisms.

     discuss the biological structures and purposes of basic components of prokaryotic


    and eukaryotic cells, especially macromolecules, membranes, and organelles.

     apply and describe the applications of biology.

    Pedagogy for Course Delivery:


    The course pedagogy will include lectures, discussion on applications of the topics
    covered.
