-
3.00 Credits
This course focuses upon the chemistry of carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids and their functions in the cell. Assembly, function, and regulation of these molecules will be emphasized. Laboratory exercises will involve the isolation, identification, and functional assessment of biological molecules. Three lecture and three laboratory hours per week. Prerequisites: BIOL 111, 112, 131, 132, and CHEM 242 and 211. Credit: 4 hours. Offered fall semester every year.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the anatomy, physiology, life history, ecology, classification, and phylogeny of invertebrate animals. The importance of invertebrates as competitors of humans, food sources, economic pests, links in important food chains, indicators of environmental quality, and as experimental subjects is stressed. Three lecture and three laboratory hours per week. Prerequisites: BIOL 111, 112, 131, 132. Credit, 4 hours. Offered spring semester, even years.
-
3.00 Credits
Topics include plant diversity, taxonomy, physiology, morphology, anatomy, growth, economic botany, horticulture, plant genetics, phytogeography and evolution. Laboratories will provide traditional in-class observation of slides, specimens and demonstrations as well as opportunities to engage in experimentation, hands-on experience in various phases of plant biology and exploration of the local plant environment. Prerequisites: BIOL 111, 112, 131, and 132. Three lecture and three laboratory hours per week. Credit, 4 hours. Offered fall semesters.
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides the future secondary school biology teacher with useful experiences and training. Topics of study include student learning styles, content organization, lesson plan preparation, student evaluation techniques, course and lesson assessment, laboratory safety, and ethics in the science classroom. Students also observe and evaluate freshman level biology laboratory experiences and are informed of public school core content expectations and the programs of studies for students in Kentucky. Prerequisites: BIOL 111, 112, 131, 132, and 245. Credit, 1 hour. Offered spring semesters.
-
3.00 Credits
This course will concentrate on laboratory experiments designed to introduce students to techniques used in the preparation, identification, purification, and study of properties associated with biological molecules. This will include studies of enzyme kinetics and inhibition, protein purification techniques and nucleic acid analysis. Three laboratory hours and one lecture per week. Prerequisites: BIOL 111, 112, 131, 132, AND CHEM 242 and 211. Credit, 2 hours. Offered as needed.
-
3.00 Credits
This course examines the historical patterns of natural resource use and the biological, ecological, and sociological consequences of that use. Current approaches used by conservation biologists to protect, restore, and sustain ecosystem health are discussed. Prerequisites: BIOL 111, 112, 131, 132, and 245. Credit, 3 hours. Offered spring semesters of even years.
-
3.00 Credits
This course will concentrate on the basic chemistry of carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids with an understanding of the basic structure and components of these molecules and their roles in the cell. Specific areas that will be emphasized include interactions between the molecules and water, chemical assembly of these molecules, enzyme kinetics and nucleic acid biosynthesis, transcription and translation. Prerequisites: BIOL 111, 112, 131, 132, and CHEM 242 and 211. Credit, 3 hours. Offered fall semesters.
