-
4.00 Credits
Nervous system of animals and humans. Includes comparative anatomy and physiology of humans with other vertebrates and invertebrates, as well as interactions of sensory, motor, and integrative mechanisms of nervous system control. Includes 2 lab hrs.
Prerequisite:
BIO101D, BIO103D, or BIO112; BIO113D recommended.
-
4.00 Credits
The basic question of developmental biology is "How does a single fertilized egg give rise to all the different cell, tissue, and organ types of the adult organism?" The developmental processes that give rise to these different cell, organ, and tissue types along with the mechanisms underlying those processes are studied at the cellular, genetic, molecular, and biochemical levels. Laboratory work includes surgical manipulation of living organisms to elucidate developmental principles. Includes 3 lab hours.
Prerequisite:
BIO112 and one other biology course; two courses in chemistry.
-
4.00 Credits
An integrated, systematic approach to embryology and comparative anatomy. Microscopic examination of representative vertebrate embryos and dissection of representative vertebrate types. Includes 3 lab hrs.
Prerequisite:
Two courses in biology, including BIO113D.
-
4.00 Credits
Identification and distribution of flowering plants, including field work, keying, and laboratory preservation. Biogeography and factors important in plant distribution. Includes 3 lab hrs.
Prerequisite:
One course in biology or consent of instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
Function of animal nerves, muscles, hormones, circulation, respiration, excretion, digestion, and the ways these systems interact in processes of feeding, energetics, osmoregulation, metabolism, locomotion, biomechanics, and temperature regulation necessary for organismal survival. Laboratory consists of research projects examining current physiological questions and techniques. Includes 3 lab hrs.
Prerequisite:
BIO112; BIO113D; BIO114D; CHE111D; CHE212.
-
4.00 Credits
Introduction to the fundamentals of how plants grow, metabolize, and respond to their environment. Topics include: the conversion of light energy into chemical energy through photosynthesis and carbon fixation; nitrogen assimilation; water and mineral uptake and transport; phloem transport; and plant growth regulators, seed physology, and plant and environmental stress interactions. Laboratory consists of some outdoor and off-campus investigations.
Prerequisite:
BIO113D; BIO114D; and a semester of chemistry.
-
4.00 Credits
The basis of the immune system throughout the animal kingdom is the ability to recognize or discriminate "self " from "nonself." Study includes the molecular and cellular mechanisms that allow organisms to recognize, control, and eliminate such "nonself " entities as bacterial pathogens, foreign tissue grafts, and even transformed (cancerous) cells. Includes 3 lab hrs.
Prerequisite:
BIO112; BIO113D; two semesters of chemistry. BIO207, BIO312, or BIO341 is strongly recommended.
-
4.00 Credits
Processes by which hormones exert control over many aspects of development, growth, metabolism, and behavior. Topics include morphology and histology of endocrine organs, regulation of hormone output, chemical nature, and mechanism of action at the target tissue. Laboratory is largely experimental, using bioassay procedures and live animal studies. Includes 3 lab hrs.
Prerequisite:
BIO112; BIO113D.
-
4.00 Credits
Modern advanced molecular genetic research. Topics covered include regulation of gene expression during development, molecular biology of cancer, animal virology, eukaryotic gene organization, and methods in gene manipulation. Laboratory consists of research projects utilizing recombinant DNA/genetic engineering techniques. Includes 3 lab hrs. Prerequisites: BIO312; one additional biology course; CHE221; CHE222.
-
4.00 Credits
Physical and chemical properties of living systems with an emphasis on macromolecular interaction, structure, and function. Structure, classification, purification, and function of nucleic acids, proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids, including membrane transport and enzymology. Laboratory techniques include: spectroscopy, chromatography, centrifugation, electrophoresis, and enzyme kinetics. Includes 3 lab hrs.
Prerequisite:
BIO112; CHE222. BIO341 recommended. (Carries cross-credit in chemistry.)
