109學年第二學期 生命科學導論 (Introduction to Life Science) 課程大綱

課程名稱: 10920-LS110302生命科學導論 (Introduction to Life Science)
任課老師: Pan, Rong-Long (潘榮隆)、Kao, Mou-Chieh (高茂傑)、Chang, Chien-Chung
(林亦凡)
Time: W7W8W9 (15:30-18:20); Room: LSII 117R

一、課程說明 (Course Description)
本課程主要 提供 本校非主修生科系(但已修過大學有機化學以上學分優先)的學生,對於生命科學
之認識。主要以選用的Starr夫婦所著的生物學為教科書,全方位介紹當代生物學討論與關注的課
題 [詳見下列 授課內容、課程表]。

本課程 將分三方面來介紹 “生命科學”:
1. 從傳統生物學研究的內容[如: 早期的生物與相關之演化課題]
到近代生物學所關注的議題 [如:生物圈的現代、未來與生態、環境相關]

2. 從物理、化學角度開始介紹生物分子、細胞、遺傳、免疫、癌病生成與相關近代生物科技應
用,幫助未曾在大學修習過生物課程的學生了解生命科學的基礎理論。

3. 從生物個體的角度介紹生理學。從生物個體之組織、器官、系統的協調了解生物有機體如何的
運作以維續生命。

*這些介紹 將使學生方便整合所學,而立即應用到與本身相關的特定議題研究。並可作為未來研讀
高階課程的準備。論文研究與生命科學有關之學生,可以優先選修本課程。

二、指定用書 (Text Books)
