Module 1: Introduction
Purpose: To Convey That Biology Is As Important A Scientific Discipline As Mathematics, Physics And Chemistry • Bring Out The Fundamental Differences Between Science And Engineering By Drawing A Comparison Between Eye And Camera, Bird Flying And Aircraft • Mention The Most Exciting Aspect Of Biology As An Independent Scientific Discipline • Why Do We Need To Study Biology • Discuss How Biological Observations Of 18th Century That Lead To Major Discoveries • Examples From Brownian Motion And The Origin Of Thermodynamics By Referring To The Original Observation Of Robert Brown And Julius Mayor • These Examples Will Highlight The Fundamental Importance Of Observations In Any Scientific Inquiry
Module 2: Classification
Purpose: To Convey That Classification Per Se Is Not What Biology Is All About • The Underlying Criterion, Such As Morphological, Biochemical Or Ecological Be Highlighted • Hierarchy Of Life Forms At Phenomenological Level • A Common Thread Weaves This Hierarchy Classification • Discuss Classification Based On (A) Cellularity- Unicellular Or Multicellular (B) Ultrastructure- Prokaryotes Or Eukaryotes • (C) Energy And Carbon Utilization -Autotrophs, Heterotrophs, Lithotrophs (D) Ammonia Excretion - Ammonotelic, Uricotelic, Ureotelic • (E) Habitat- Aquatic Or Terrestrial (E) Molecular Taxonomy- Three Major Kingdoms Of Life • A Given Organism Can Come Under Different Categories Based On Classification • Model Organisms For The Study Of Biology Come From Different Groups • E.Coli, S.Cerevisiae, D. Melanogaster, C. Elegance, A. Thaliana, M. Musculus
Module 3: Genetics
Purpose: To Convey That Genetics Is To Biology What Newton's Laws Are To Physical Sciences • Mendel's Laws, Concept Of Segregation And Independent Assortment • Concept Of Allele • Gene Mapping, Gene Interaction, Epistasis • Meiosis And Mitosis Be Taught As A Part Of Genetics • Emphasis To Be Give Not To The Mechanics Of Cell Division Nor The Phases But How Genetic Material Passed From Parent To Offspring • Concepts Of Recessiveness And Dominance • Concept Of Mapping Of Phenotype To Genes • Discuss About The Single Gene Disorders In Humans • Discuss The Concept Of Complementation Using Human Genetics
Module 4: Biomolecule
Purpose: To Convey That All Forms Of Life Has The Same Building Blocks And Yet The Manifestations Are As Diverse As One Can Imagine Molecules Of Life • In This Context Discuss Monomeric Units And Polymeric Structures • Discuss About Sugars, Starch And Cellulose • Amino Acids And Proteins • Nucleotides And Dna/Rna • Two Carbon Units And Lipids
Module 5: Enzymes
Purpose: To Convey That Without Catalysis Life Would Not Have Existed On Earth Enzymology • How To Monitor Enzyme Catalyzed Reactions • How Does An Enzyme Catalyzed Reactions • Enzyme Classification • Mechanism Of Enzyme Action • Discuss At Least Two Examples • Enzyme Kinetics And Kinetic Parameters • Why Should We Know These Parameters To Understand Biology • Rna Catalysis
