-
3.00 Credits
3 cr. 4 hr. In this course students investigate the distribution of the dominant animals and plants in a salt marsh, sand beach, tide pool and rocky intertidal area. Data on physical and chemical factors of these habitats is correlated with the composition, behavior, and physiology of the flora and fauna of each habitat. Prerequisites: BIOL 1800, 1900 or permission of Instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
3 cr. 4 hr. The morphology and diagnostic identification of representative groups of parasitic protozoa, helminths, and arthropods are studied along with their functional life cycles and pathogenic relationships to animal and human hosts. Emphasis is placed on epidemiology, pathology, control, and treatment of important parasitic diseases. Prerequisite: BIOL 1900.
-
3.00 Credits
3 cr. 4 hr. Offered in the fall semester for day students. Individually paced instruction is offered to study the integration of plant structure and function, emphasizing physiology of the integrated plant-water relations, transpiration and translocation, mineral nutrition, photosynthesis, respiration, growth hormones, differentiation and morphogenesis. Prerequisite: BIOL 1900 or BIOL 1400.
-
4.00 Credits
4 cr. 6 hr. Cellular and subcellular structure and function are covered in this course. Major topics include membranes, cell organelles, cytoskeleton, respiration and photosynthesis, signal transduction, metabolic regulation, and the cell cycle. Laboratory experiments focus on current cell biology methodologies and instrumentation, and include spectrophotometry, cell fractionation, microscopy, cytochemistry, electrophoresis and cell culture technologies. Prerequisites: BIOL 2800 and CHEM 2100 or permission of Instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
3 cr. 4 hr. Students learn anatomy, habits, life histories, and identification of insects and some related arthropods. Laboratory work includes preparation of a representative collection of adult and larval forms from terrestrial and aquatic environments with emphasis on techniques for identification of these forms. Prerequisite: BIOL 1900 or permission of Instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
3 cr. 4 hr. The course o Limnology ffers a study of fresh waters and their inhabitants. Class work surveys protists, invertebrates, vertebrates and plants collected from local waters and emphasizes their ecological interrelationships as determined by biological, physical and chemical parameters. Prerequisites: BIOL 1900 and BIOL 2300 or permission of Instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
4 cr. 6 hr. Offered every other spring semester. The course is a study of the chemistry of biologically important molecules and macromolecules, including water, proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, nucleic acids and vitamins. Metabolic pathways, regulation of metabolic flux, and inborn errors of metabolism are covered. Laboratory emphasizes manual and instrumented techniques for isolation, qualitative and quantitative analysis of macromolecules, enzyme kinetics and protein expressions. Prerequisite: BIOL 2800 and either CHEM 1200 or CHEM 2100 or permission of Instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
3 cr. 5 hr. Offered in the fall semester for day students. The course examines the classification of higher plants in accordance with evolutionary principles and trends. Laboratory is devoted to the techniques of plant identification with emphasis on the terminology and use of botanical keys. Field trips are taken for collecting representative elements of the local flora and preparation of an herbarium. Prerequisite: BIOL 1800 or 1900 or permission of Instructor. 133
-
4.00 Credits
4 cr. 6 hr. Offered in the spring semester for day students. The course examines a detailed survey of developing embryos from the fertilized egg through the various stages leading to the adult organism. Current theories regarding the molecular mechanisms underlying cell differentiation and other classic developmental processes are also themes of this course. Other topics covered in the survey include regeneration, metamorphosis, aging and cancer. Laboratory involves the study of development in live sea urchins, birds, frogs, and ferns as well as work with prepared slides. Prerequisites: BIOL 1800, BIOL 1900, BIOL 2800, BIOL 3250, or permission of Instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
3 cr. 4 hr. Students collect and identify common algae found in the New England area. Emphasis is on freshwater forms, but some study of marine algae is conducted as well. Distribution of algal species is correlated with physical and chemical factors in their habitats. Laboratory includes a study of algal physiology and reproduction as well as techniques for cultivation. Prerequisite: BIOL 1400 or BIOL 1900
