授業の目的 【英語】
【Standardized across all programs】 Animals and plants construct tissues and organs with differentiated cells and integrate them to perform various higher-level biological functions that cannot be performed by a single cell. In this lecture, we aim to deepen our understanding of the significance and mechanisms of higher-order biological functions at the individual level in animals and plants, based on the basic knowledge of biology acquired in Basic Biology I. Through this understanding, we will consider the universality and diversity of life phenomena. 
授業の達成目標 【英語】
This course's main focus is to provide students with working understanding on how the human body functions, and connect it to health and disease. Short introduction is given to basic concepts in ecology.
The course emphasizes on conceptual understanding of the biological topics discussed, rather than on memorization of terms and facts. Course assignments are prepared with the goal of providing an opportunity to practice conceptual and analytical thinking. Students will gain the ability to use their understanding of human physiology to take informed decisions in everyday health-related situations. Ecology section will allow students to critically evaluate agricultural and ecological issues. Students will also have opportunity to engage in discussions and team projects.
