3.00 Credits
This microbiology course for nursing majors examines the structure and function of bacteria, viruses, yeasts, molds, antibiotics, and bacterial genetics as well as the mechanisms of microbial invasion and the body's immunological response.Note: This course is not open to biology majors.Three lectures, one lab.(Prerequisites: BI 107, CH 84) Four credits.
-
3.00 Credits
Students examine biological systems, such as the human organism, in detail, with an emphasis on pathophysiology, diversity of life, and evolution.Emphasis varies by instructor.Note: Counts as a science core course but does not satisfy requirements for the biology major or minor.Three lectures.Three credits.
-
4.00 Credits
This introductory course for biology majors covers the molecular and cellular basis of life, including cell structure and function, cell communication, inheritance, gene expression and regulation, and developmental genetics.Students receive hands-on experience with a broad range of topics and techniques in the accompanying laboratory.Formerly listed as BI 91.Three lectures, one lab.Four credits.
-
4.00 Credits
This introductory course for biology majors covers biochemistry, energy utilization, anatomy and physiology, and the structure and function of plants and animals.Students receive hands-on experience with a broad range of topics and techniques in the accompanying laboratory.Formerly listed as BI 92.Three lectures, one lab.Four credits.
-
4.00 Credits
This introductory course for biology majors covers organismal biology with an emphasis on evolution, biological diversity, ecology, and environmental science.Students receive hands-on experience with a broad range of topics and techniques in the accompanying laboratory.Three lectures, one lab.Four credits.
-
3.00 Credits
This course, which provides a basic introduction to human anatomy and physiology, examines the major organ systems of the body, focusing on how each system functions and how all systems interact with one another.Using comparative methods, students gain an appreciation for the evolutionary origins of human form, examine how design problems (such as sharing a tube for breathing and eating) were overcome, discuss current issues in public health, and focus on the environmental health problems that human populations face.Note: This course counts as a science core course but does not satisfy requirements for the biology major or minor.Formerly listed as BI 33.Three lectures.Three credits.
-
4.00 Credits
This introductory course in statistical methodology and analysis includes descriptive statistics such as frequency distributions, central tendency, variability, and correlation as well as an introduction to probability, sampling theory, and tests of significance including the t-test, chi-squared, ANOVA, and non-parametric statistics.This course is open to majors in the behavioral, biological, and physical sciences.The lab complements the course by giving students supervised computation and problem-solving exercises using calculators and computers.Note: this course does not fulfill any core requirements.Four credits.
-
3.00 Credits
This course examines the glands of internal secretion and their location, anatomy, and function, including the mechanisms of their secretions and cell signaling importance in the regulation of body functions.Three lectures.(Prerequisites: BI 170, 171, and 172, CH 11-12, and CH 211) Three credits.
-
3.00 Credits
Students consider the roles of carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, vitamins, minerals, and water in mammalian nutrition, examining the physiology of animal digestion, absorption, and intermediary metabolism in relation to nutritional needs and energy balance.The course covers recent developments in the application of nutritional findings to metabolic disorders such as diabetes, heart disease, and neurochemical deficits, evaluating them in relation to the principles of animal nutrition.Three lectures.(Prerequisites: BI 170, 171, and 172, CH 11-12, and CH 211) Three credits.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is designed as an overview of the science of ecology - the study of interactions between organisms and their environment.This course uses a hierarchical approach to describe organisms, populations, communi-ties, and ecosystems.We discuss the types of questions ecologists ask, and the methods ecologists use to answer questions.Three lectures, one lab.(Prerequisites: BI 170, 171, and 172, CH 11-12) Four credits.
