4.00 Credits
F and S. A study of microorganisms and their activities. Topics include microbial cell structure and function, metabolism, microbial genetics, viruses, and the role of microorganisms in disease, immunity, and other applied areas. Three hours of lecture and two laboratory periods per week. Prerequisite: Biology 141 and Chemistry 115, 253, or equivalent.
-
4.00 Credits
S. An introduction to the biology and diversity of select groups of animals and protists. Topics include taxonomic diversity, structure, and function at the organ and tissue level, and population biology and evolution. Emphasis is placed on considering these topics in an environmental context. Lecture and laboratory. Prerequisite: Biology 141.
-
4.00 Credits
F. An introduction to plant biology that includes a consideration of the structure, function, and development of plants as organisms, a consideration of the relationships of plants to each other and the other organisms in a study of selected communities within biomes, and consideration of basic ecosystem approaches, and topics in the diversity of algae, fungi, and plants. Lecture and laboratory. Prerequisite: Biology 141.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
F, I, and S. The student enrolling in this course will be involved in laboratory or library research on a project currently being studied by one or more staff members. Application forms are available from the department office and admission will be determined by the chair and the faculty member directing the project.
-
4.00 Credits
S, alternate years. A study of the organisms that once lived on the Earth. Includes an examination of the processes of fossilization and methods of discovering the structure, habitat, and relationship of those organisms, and a review of their distribution and life history. A broad spectrum of organisms is studied with emphasis on invertebrate animals. Laboratory, field trip. Also listed as Geology 313. Prerequisite: Geology 152 or Biology 242 and 243.
-
4.00 Credits
F. A study of modern concepts of the gene and the analysis of progressive acquisition of specialized structures and functions by organisms and their components. The laboratory includes study of genetic and developmental phenomena of selected organisms. Lectures and laboratory. Prerequisites: Biology 242 and Chemistry 115, 253, or 261.
-
4.00 Credits
S. A comparative study of vertebrate structure and of the functional significance of these structural variations. Lectures and laboratory. Credit cannot be applied toward a biology major for both Biology 205 and 323. Prerequisite: Biology 242.
-
4.00 Credits
S. A study of photosynthesis, biosynthesis of macromolecular precursors, the chemistry of the storage, transmission, and expression of genetic information, biochemical dimensions of selected physiological processes, and philosophical and ethical issues related to biochemistry and molecular biology. Lectures and laboratory (Biology 383) Also listed as Chemistry 324. Prerequisite: Chemistry 323.
-
4.00 Credits
S. A study of basic and advanced methodologies, current applications, and contemporary Issues In biotechnology. Theoretical and practical aspects of DNA cloning, recombination, transformation, blotting, genomics, and proteomics are taught within the context of medical, agricultural, environmental, legal, and Industrial applications. Reading assignments and discussions explore Christian and secular perspectives of biotechnology regulation, patenting, and other social concerns. Laboratory exercises facilitate development of basic lab skills (maintenance of notebooks, routine calculations, preparation of reagents and materials, and safety) Lectures and laboratories. Prerequisites: Biology 141, Chemistry 253 or 261.
-
4.00 Credits
S. A study of animal physiology using a cellular and comparative approach. Topics include membrane transport, nerve function, sensory mechanisms, muscle contraction, hormone action, ion and osmotic regulation, temperature relations, metabolism and circulation. Lectures and laboratory. Credit cannot be applied toward a biology major for both Biology 206 and 331. Prerequisites: Biology 242 or 205; Chemistry 115, 253, or 261.
