  • BIO 109: User's Guide to the Human Body

    4.00 Credits
    Holyoke Community College

    Everybody has one.learn how it works, and how to ask and answer questions you may have at the doctor' s office, inthe supermarket, or in any room in the house. Explore the human body and see how systems work together to maintain life and health. Investigation will begin with the chemistry of living things, and students will build an understanding of how the human body organizes those smallest particles into cells, tissues, organs, systems and people. Student concerns may guide the class to explore disease, ethics, politics, or biotech application of the basic human biology we learn. Case studies, problem scenarios, and other methods will help students discover and apply knowledge to current affairs, and to practice communication and critical thinking skills. Laboratory investigations will utilize inquiry-based, handson methods and student generated investigations to practice the scientific process. The lab may include dissection of preserved animal specimens. Students may not receive credit for both BIO 109 and BIO 111. This course does not satisfy the requirement of Allied Health programs requiring BIO 111 or a full year of anatomy and physiology.

  • BIO 110: General Botany

    4.00 Credits
    Holyoke Community College

    Introductory plant biology. Lecture topics include the importance and necessity of plants to man; plant structure, diversity, ecology, propagation, and life cycles; and the historical development of species and communities. Laboratories are designed to augment lecture materials through a "hands on" approach to the study of plants; topics include the structure, physiology, and diversity of plants. Field trips may be added to introduce students to native plants and tropical exotic plants, and will require moderate walking over woodland terrain. 3 class hours and 3 laboratory hours

  • BIO 115: Plant Genetics and Evolution

    4.00 Credits
    Holyoke Community College

    Some 300,000 plant species have been identified on earth: understanding how this astounding diversity came to be is one of the great challenges of science today. In this course we examine the ways plant traits are passed from generation to generation and how this has allowed plant species to evolve in earth’ s constantly changing environment. Students will perform experiments in plant genetics and molecular biology and analyze fossil pollen collected in the field. Field trips will require moderate walking on varied terrain. Prerequisite: BIO 100, BIO 107, BIO 110, and BIO 120

  • BIO 130: Conservation Biology

    4.00 Credits
    Holyoke Community College

    An emphasis on the conservation of the world' s different organisms and habitats. Students will become familiar with the issues and problems associated with protecting biodiversity. We will examine the science of conservation genetics, species diversity, community interactions, ecosystem and landscape ecology, and the global biosphere. Through case studies, we will explore the complex, interdisciplinary nature of conservation issues such as endangered species protection, habitat loss, land use management, ecological restoration, and sustainable development. In the laboratory, students will conduct field research, visit important local conservation areas, work with computer models, and become familiar with the tools scientists use to accomplish conservation objectives. Field labs require moderate walking over woodland terrain. Prerequisite: None 3 class hours and 3 laboratory hours
