I'm looking at the local community college's EMT-P program, and for the core program, the student must take either General Biology 1 or Fundamentals of Microbiology. (This is done before getting to A&P-1, of course.)
BIOL-107 says it is "designed with a strong emphasis towards the allied health careers," but BIOL-101 says the student will be able "to relate the chemical activities of the cell to the overall function of man," which also sounds pretty important.
So my question is: If someone is interested in pursuing the EMT-P program at this college, which of these two classes would be the better one to take?

BIOL-101 General Biology I
4 Credits (Science Core)
Following successful completion of Biology 101, the student will be able to describe the characteristics of living things at all levels of organization-from the atomic through the molecular, cellular, and organismal levels. The study of human genetics, development, and anatomy and physiology will enable the student to relate the chemical activities of the cell to the overall function of man.
BIOL-107 Fundamentals of Microbiology
4 Credits (Science Core)
Fundamentals of Microbiology is a course designed with a strong emphasis towards the allied health careers. Following the successful completion of Biology 107, the student will be able to describe the characteristics of living things from the molecular to the cellular level for both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. The study of microbiology will enable the student to understand the biology of bacteria, fungi, protozoa and viruses in terms of morphology, classification, reproduction, metabolism, genetics, population growth, and disease production. In the laboratory, the student will gain experience with the tools and techniques used in the study of microorganisms.
