-
3.00 Credits
Laboratory accompanying BIOL 3650. Corequisite(s): BIOL 3650.
-
3.00 Credits
Plant Taxonomy will explore the relationships between major plant families, the naming and classification of plants, plant identification procedures, and the relevance of plant taxonomy to other fields of science. The plants of Georgia will be a focus of this course. Prerequisite: BIOL 2500
-
3.00 Credits
Economic Botany explores the intimate relationship between plants and our lives. Topics that will be covered in this course include our use of plants as medicines, food, beverages, and textiles. We will also explore our use of plants in ornamental gardening and forensics. Prerequisite(s): BIOL 1108 with a grade of C or higher and BIOL 1108L with a grade of C or higher.
-
3.00 Credits
This course will examine animal physiology from four different perspectives. It will examine the mechanism that underlies different functions, the evolutionary origins of particular functions, how different animals perform similar functions, and how the environment an animal lives in impacts how they carry out particular functions. This course will explore physiology in a wide range of both invertebrate and vertebrate animals with a focus on food and energy, integrating systems, muscular systems, oxygen and carbon dioxide physiology, and water and salt physiology. The course will include modules that will explore in depth animal models that integrate physiology presented in the course. Prerequisite(s): BIOL 3650 and 3650L.
-
3.00 Credits
This laboratory course is complementary to the Animal Physiology lecture course, and allows students to perform lab exercises that reinforce basic and fundamental principles of physiology that are discussed in lecture. Course modules will include exercises that examine cell physiology, muscle physiology, cardiovascular physiology, respiratory system, and nervous system. Prerequisite(s) or Corequisite(s): BIOL 4100
-
3.00 Credits
This class is an in-depth discussion of the biology of the nervous system. Topics include neuronal structure and function, communication at the synapse (electrical and action potentials), membrane receptors and intra- and intercellular signaling systems, gene regulation, gross organization of the brain and spinal cord, the processing of sensory information and development of the nervous system. Prerequisite: BIOL 3200.
-
3.00 Credits
Endocrinology is the study of hormones and their pervasive effects on physiology. Vertebrate Endocrinology will cover the major vertebrate endocrine systems, and the effects of different hormones on cellular and organismal levels of physiology. This course includes lectures, classroom discussion of research papers, and student participation. A major emphasis is placed on student participation. Prerequisite(s): BIOL 3200 and 4100.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of Mendelian principles, molecular genetics and population genetics. The cellular and molecular mechanisms of inheritance, gene expression and influences on evolution are included. Prerequisite(s): BIOL 1108 with a grade of C or higher and BIOL 1108L.
-
3.00 Credits
An experiment-based course in which students use DNA technology to explore topics such as DNA fingerprinting, cloning, DNA amplification, genetic therapies, sex determination, inheritance and paternity, and human genetic disease. Prerequisite(s): BIOL 3250/3250L and BIOL 4201.
-
3.00 Credits
Research experience for students in Biology. Practicum assignments must be approved by the student's major advisor and the Center for Experiential Learning. Course may be repeated for credit. Prerequisite(s): BIOL 1108/1108L, CHEM 2412/2412L, MATH 1231 and consent of the head of the department of Natural Sciences.
