Introduces non-majors to science and scientific methodology through a study of the basic principles of biology. Focuses on student understanding of the unity and diversity of life through discussions of topics that include biological chemistry, metabolism, cell biology, molecular biology, genetics, evolution of living systems, and ecology. Examines the implications of the science of biology on human affairs. Credit Limitation - MC, CSU, and UC: no credit if taken after BIOL M02A or BIOL M02AH. Field trips may be required. Transfer credit: CSU; UC.

Introduces students to major biological themes and principles that are fundamental to an understanding of life processes in any field of biology today. Includes the scientific process, experimental design, biological chemistry, prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell structure and function, cellular metabolism, cell reproduction and its controls, cell communication, genetics, molecular biology, DNA technology and evolutionary processes. Credit Limitation: Credit will not be awarded for both the honors and regular versions of a course. Credit will be awarded only for the first course completed with a grade of "C" or better or "P". Moorpark College Honors program requires a letter grade. Prerequisites: a course taught at the intermediate algebra or equivalent or placement by the College's multiple measures assessment process and CHEM M12 or high school chemistry. Transfer credit: CSU; UC.

Provides résumé and cover letter writing information and practice for specific animal-related careers. Focuses on the various styles as well as résumés in electronic format. Develops written personal résumés and cover letters using different formats. Prerequisites: ANCT M02D. Formerly: EATM M34.

Provides students the opportunity to practice the application of basic animal care concepts in the care and handling of the animal population at the Teaching Zoo. Develops essential zoo keeping skills for the care of domestic and non-domestic animals through a “hands-on” approach. Corequisites: ANCT M01A. Limitations on Enrollment: Accepted to Animal Care and Training Program. Transfer credit: CSU. Formerly: EATM M01AL.

Builds upon the scientific knowledge underlying chemical engineering principles to design, develop, and optimize key parameters in a biomanufacturing process. Includes the optimization of media composition, fermenter and bioreactor design, the design of downstream processes, instrumentation, engineering systems, and process control systems in process development to maximize the yield and integrity of a protein pharmaceutical. Field trips may be required. Prerequisites: Introductory Statistics (MATH M15 or MATH M15H) or equivalent or placement as determined by the college's multiple measures assessment process, BIOL M02A or BIOL M02AH, BIOT M10 or BIOL M13, BIOT M02C or BIOL M12C, and BIOT M02D or BIOL M12D. Transfer credit: CSU.
