and Physiology I TRIMESTER 2 CURRICULUM:
- In
trimester 2 we complete our study of cellular
physiology as we consider
- how
cells
divide via mitosis and meiosis with a side journey specific study of
gametogenesis (sperm and ova) production.
- how
cells produce proteins via transcription and translation
- how
cells generate ATP from molecules consumed in the diet

and Physiology 1 INSTRUCTOR:
- Dr.
DeWitt
was formally educated at the Univeristy of Michigan where he was
awarded a PhD in the area of cardiovascular physiology. He is a
former
Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at
Stevens

students
ranging from high school to collegiate undergraduate, nursing, medical,
and graduate students since 1973. Dr. D. is the first biology
instructor
at Bergen County Academies and was instrumental in the creation of the
science curriculum in AAST and AEDT. He also teaches a number of
