-
3.00 Credits
Introductory course designed to familiarize students with biochemical processes of digestion, absorption, and metabolism, as well as the contributions of various nutrients to the health of individuals at various ages; appropriate for pre-health professionals.
-
4.00 Credits
3-3 A survey of the animal kingdom. Topics include animal structure and function, growth and development, taxonomy and phylogeny, ecology and distribution. Concepts learned in BIO 120 will be applied to this study of animals. ( Prerequisite: BIO 120) ( Course Fee $65)
-
4.00 Credits
3-3 A survey of the plant kingdom. Topics include plant structure and function, growth and development, taxonomy and phylogeny, ecology and distribution. Concepts learned in BIO 120 will be applied to this study of plants. ( Prerequisite: BIO 120) ( Course Fee $65)
-
4.00 Credits
3-3 An introduction to biological macromolecules and their components. Topics will include enzymatic catalysis, thermodynamics and kinetics, and the control and integration of metabolic and catabolic processes. At all points in the course particular emphasis will be placed on the structure and function of proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids. ( Prerequisites: BIO 120 and CHM 242) (Course Fee $65)
-
4.00 Credits
A survey of the principles of Mendelian, molecular, population and human genetics. Laboratories will provide an introduction to some of the major organisms used for studying genetics and will explore both classical and molecular techniques. ( Prerequisites: BIO 120 and CHM 242) (Course Fee $65)
-
4.00 Credits
The biology of microorganisms emphasizing morphology, physiology, and ecology of bacteria, fungi, and viruses, and their importance in medicine, the environment, agriculture, and industry. Laboratory emphasis on staining, observing, culturing, and identifying microorganisms. ( Prerequisite: BIO 120; CHM 132) ( Course Fee $65)
-
4.00 Credits
3-3 A rigorous study of the origin and evolution of chordates, comparing anatomy, functional morphology, and evolutionary morphology across taxa. Laboratories include comparative dissections of different chordates, ranging from primitive fish to mammals. ( Prerequisite: BIO 220 ( Course Fee $65)
-
4.00 Credits
3-3 A rigorous study of the physiological systems and adaptive mechanisms of vertebrates to environmental variables. Topics include cellular, cardiovascular, neural and muscular, respiratory, renal, digestive, hormonal, and reproductive physiology, and pathophysiological conditions. Emphasis on mammalian physiology. ( Prerequisites: BIO 350 and CHM 132; CHM 242 recommended) ( Course Fee $65)
-
4.00 Credits
The study of ecological systems, including energy flow and nutrient cycles; factors that limit the distribution and abundance of organisms; population and physiological ecology; and the impact of humans on the environment. The laboratory will include field trips (Saturdays possible), the application of statistics, and an introduction to Geographic Information Systems (GIS). ( Prerequisites: BIO 220, 222, CHM 132, and MTH 201) ( Course Fee $65)
-
3.00 Credits
3-0 Evolutionary theory forms the foundation for all modern biological thought. This course will examine the processes of evolution in detail (selection, genetic drift, genetic mutation on the molecular level, gene flow, speciation and phylogeny), the methods by which biologists reconstruct the history of life on the planet, and directions of current research. (Prerequisite: BIO 220 or 222, 332)
