-
4.00 Credits
Microscopic structure of cells, tissues, and organs in vertebrate animals, with special emphasis on the way structural units are integrated. At all times efforts are made to correlate structure with specific physiological functions. Includes 3 lab hrs.
Prerequisite:
BIO112; BIO113D.
-
4.00 Credits
A survey of invertebrate groups from protozoa to prochordates with emphasis on organizational, functional, and ecological significance. Special attention is given to the morphology, life histories, and physiology of invertebrates within the context of survival in specialized environments. Includes 3 lab hrs.
Prerequisite:
BIO113D; BIO114D.
-
4.00 Credits
Travel to the Philippines and Hawaii to study exotic coral reefs and associated environmental issues. Coral reefs worldwide are currently subject to severe anthropogenic stress. Allows students to get in the water to see reefs firsthand, explore the science and human technology relating to coral reefs, and meet individuals who are working to address environmental problems.
Prerequisite:
Laboratory Science (D) course; Mathematics (M) course. (Carries cross-credit in environmental studies.)
-
4.00 Credits
Structure and function of wild nature. Topics include interrelationships of organisms with their environments, factors that regulate such interrelationships, and various roles that humans play in modifying patterns and processes of nature at organism, community, and ecosystem levels. Laboratory consists of experimental work in field and laboratory, examining current hypotheses in ecological systems. Includes 3 lab hrs.
Prerequisite:
BIO113D; BIO114D or ENS102D.
-
4.00 Credits
Principles that control inheritance, with examples chosen from plant and animal research, population genetics, cytogenetics, molecular genetics, and current work on human genetics. Includes 3 lab hrs.
Prerequisite:
Two courses in chemistry; BIO101D or BIO112.
-
4.00 Credits
A comparative study of the major invertebrate groups from anatomical, physiological, and ecological perspectives with attention to insects and parasitic invertebrates. Includes 3 lab hrs.
Prerequisite:
BIO113D; BIO114D.
-
4.00 Credits
Travel from base in Quito throughout Ecuador and the Galápagos Islands, surveying the land, climate, plants, animals, homes, transportation, and industries, noting especially the impact of human culture, presence, and activities. Sites include the Amazon rainforest, Andean cloud forests, volcanic mountains, highlands, towns, cities, and the Galápagos Islands.
Prerequisite:
Laboratory Science (D) course; Mathematics (M) course. (Carries cross-credit in environmental studies.)
-
4.00 Credits
Biological and physical aspects of natural, fresh-water ecosystems, including fish and other aquatic animals, aquatic plants, algae, and their interrelationships with each other and the unique aqueous environment in which they live. Laboratory examines Lake Valentine and other aquatic ecosystems near campus. Includes 3 lab hrs.
Prerequisite:
BIO112; BIO113D; BIO114D.
-
4.00 Credits
Behavior from primitive invertebrates to advanced mammals, highlighting trends in behavior systems. Natural setting studies in the ethology tradition, comparative psychology studies, and biosociological principles with their implications for human social systems. Includes 3 lab hrs.
Prerequisite:
One course in biology or PSY100. (Carries cross-credit in psychology.)
-
4.00 Credits
The molecular organization and function of cells and their organelles. Understanding how cell biology information is obtained experimentally. Laboratory consists of research projects that utilize a variety of modern cell biology techniques and equipment. Includes 3 lab hrs.
Prerequisite:
Two courses in biology, including BIO112; two courses in chemistry (organic recommended).
