Biology 1610
The study of life. What an amazingly broad subject. You can spend an entire semester at a hundred miles an hour just scratching the surface of the basic building blocks of life. I have learned such an amazing amount of information that I found useful in chemistry, anthropology, and even philosophy. I am thrilled to be a biology major even after the barrage of information this semester.
I was a bit naive about the intracacies of the material. Having spent countless hours memorizing the names of enzymes and their functions I have a greater respect for life in general. Some say that science takes the wonder out of nature and I say just the opposite. When I look at a tree I better understand the many functions it is going through at the cellular level rather than just the stationary shade providing plant. I thought I understood evolution until it was explained to me with all of it's mechanisms and it makes perfect sense.
I am planning on a career in health care which makes biology all the more important. A complete understanding of the chemistry of life, the biological processes, and the many other contributors to a healthy biological system is essential. I look forward to the more advanced courses in the subject for their detail and additional clarification.
I have included a discussion question from class if you are interested in the emergent properties of water.
