Describe form and function of skeletal muscle and cardiovascular, digestive, endocrine, excretory, immune, and respiratory systems, using the human system as an example. [BIOL 1011] Describe the basic structure and function of biological membranes [BIOL 1010] [BIOL 1030] Describe the basic structure and function of organelles [BIOL 1010] [BIOL 1030] Describe the most basic similarities and differences between Bacteria, Archaea and Eukaryotes, and the evolutionary relationships between ‘protists’ and animals, plants and fungi.
