-
4.00 Credits
S, alternate years. A study of form and function in plants as whole organisms. Course topics include photosynthesis and productivity, physiological and developmental responses to environmental cues, mineral nutrition, and water and solute transport. Lectures and laboratory. Prerequisites: Biology 243; Chemistry 115, 253, or 261.
-
4.00 Credits
S. A study of immunology including the components and functions of the innate and adaptive immune systems. Immunodysfunction, immunologic diseases, and abnormalities of the hematologic systems also are considered. Hematologic concepts and practices are addressed in laboratory sessions. Lectures and laboratory. Prerequisites: Biology 206 or 242, and Chemistry 115, 253, or 261.
-
4.00 Credits
F. A study of the biology, methodology, and applications of in vitro cultures of animal and plant cells. Lectures and laboratory. Prerequisites: Biology 141, Chemistry 253 or 261.
-
4.00 Credits
F, alternate years. A study of the function of animal cells with emphasis on events occurring outside the nucleus. Major emphases include the structure of the cell membrane, functions and interrelationships of membrane transporters and ion channels, synthesis of proteins and targeting of vesicles through the secretory pathway, structure and function of cell surface receptors and their interactions with intracellular signaling pathways, mechanisms of cell motility, and interactions of cells with the extracellular matrix. Concepts will be discussed in the context of historical development, examination of experimental evidence and relationship to the function of tissues and organs. Lectures, problem-based discussions of the primary literature, laboratory. Prerequisites: Biology 242, Chemistry 253 or 261. Not offered in 2008-2009.
-
4.00 Credits
F. A study of the structure and function of microorganisms, including a consideration of their role in food production and spoilage, biogeochemical cycles and environmental quality, and as tools in genetic engineering. Lectures and laboratory. Prerequisites: Biology 242, 243, or 206; Chemistry 115, 253, or 261.
-
4.00 Credits
S, alternate years. A study of the mechanisms and adaptive significance underlying the behavior of animals. Topics include natural and sexual selection, behavioral ecology, social behavior, orientation and navigation, animal communication, and chemical ecology. Lectures and laboratory. Prerequisites: Biology 242 and 243.
-
4.00 Credits
F, alternate years. Study of the biology of insects with emphasis on systematics. Lectures, laboratory, and field trips. Prerequisites: Biology 242 and 243. Not offered in 2008-2009.
-
