4.00 Credits
Through an introduction of basic concepts underlying the environmental sciences, this course is designed to facilitate the integration of Christian philosophy and an ethic of environmental stewardship. Subject matter will include fundamentals and practical applications of the sciences in relation to biodiversity, domestic and solid waste management, nuclear power and fossil fuel for energy, global climate change, water resource management and populations issues. (Three hours lecture and two hours lab per week.) Prerequisite: BIO 110, 112, CHM 111, PHY 120C or permission of instructor. (Offered irregularly.)
-
4.00 Credits
Fieldwork will involve identification of the common plants and animals and consideration of ecological principles (e.g., succession, etc.) as seen in the field. Field trips will be made to various ecosystems. Prerequisite: BIO 110, 112,115 or permission of instructor. (Offered irregularly.)
-
4.00 Credits
Structure, life history, and effects on host of protozoan, helminth, and arthropod parasites will be studied. Laboratory work includes preparation of specimens with study of their morphology and the study of host parasite relationships through the artificial infection of laboratory animals. Recommended for pre-med students. (Three hours lecture and three hours lab per week.) Prerequisite: BIO 110, 112. (Offered fall semester of even calendar years.)
-
4.00 Credits
The facts of heredity; reproduction and development; the mechanism of heredity; hybridization and Mendel's laws; heredity in man and in its broader social applications. Recommended for all biology majors and required of all biology majors in secondary education. (Two hours lecture and four hours lab per week.) Prerequisite: BIO 110, 112. (Offered spring semester.)
-
4.00 Credits
This course familiarizes students with behaviors and life cycles of vertebrates. The course will emphasize behavioral, morphological and physiological adaptations to individual habitats and investigative techniques to be used in analyzing inter- and intraspecific interactions. Students will conduct individual research projects. Prerequisite: BIO 110, 112, or permission of instructor. (Offered spring semester odd calendar years.)
-
4.00 Credits
This course builds on the introduction to the invertebrates presented in BIO 110. It emphasizes the diversity, ecology, structure, and function of the invertebrate phyla of animals. The course surveys these phyla and discusses adaptations for homeostasis, reproduction, and interaction with the environment. An emphasis in the lab is on the use of invertebrates as indicators of water quality in natural ecosystems. (Three hours lecture and two hours lab per week.) Prerequisite: BIO 110, 112, or permission of instructor. (Offered fall semester of odd calendar years.)
-
4.00 Credits
The principles of development of vertebrates, beginning with the cleavage of the egg, tracing the changes and modifications to the formation of the adult structure with comparative studies of the systems of selected chordate animals. Required of all pre-med students. (Two hours of lecture and four hours of lab per week.) Prerequisite: BIO 110, 112. (Offered fall semester.)
-
4.00 Credits
Studies the structure and function of the cell, while examining the highly significant and diversified roles that cells play in living organisms. Includes information about major macromolecules, organelles and their functions, such as protein synthesis, cellular respiration, replication, and characteristics of different type cells. Lab includes biotechnological and biochemical experiments. (Three hours lecture and three hours lab per week.) Prerequisite: BIO 110, 112, CHM 112. CHM 201 recommended. (Offered spring semester.)
-
4.00 Credits
This course covers the major types of instrumentation utilized in chemistry, biology and physics by providing "hands-on" experience as well as emphasizing the underlying principles. (Three hours of lecture and three hours lab per week.) Cross listed with CHM 342/PHY 342.Prerequisite: CHM 112, PHY 120C. CHM 201 recommended. (Offered spring semester of odd calendar years.)
-
4.00 Credits
A continuation of BIO 245. (Two hours lecture and four hours lab per week.) Prerequisite: BIO 245. (Offered spring semester.)
