Material Detail

This OpenCourseWare project has the videotaped lectures for the Sprin'05 version (7.014) of MIT's introductory Biology course. This course covers the "fundamental principles of biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, and cell biology. Biological function at the molecular level is particularly emphasized and covers the structure and regulation of genes, as well as, the structure and synthesis of proteins, how these molecules are integrated into cells, and how these cells are integrated into multicellular systems and organisms." This particular version of the course "focuses on the application of these fundamental principles, toward an understanding of microorganisms as geochemical agents responsible for the evolution and renewal of the biosphere and of their role in human health and disease." In addition to the video taped lectures there pdfs of problem sets and exam questions, with answers. However, the lectures do not include the figures and photos that would normally be part of a course such as this.
