This advanced course in nutrition is intended for students with a particular interest in nutrition or who are seeking a career in the health sciences. The course begins with topics in the cellular and chemical mechanisms of digestion and absorption. The pathways of energy metabolism and the general metabolism of macro-nutrients will be studied. The course will also consider the metabolic rate and health impact of vitamins, minerals and fiber. The importance of energy balance and body composition and their relationship to obesity will be an important course topic. This course assumes some knowledge of biology, chemistry and/or nutrition. 0.000 TO 4.000 Credit Hours 0.000 TO 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Theoretical & Applied Science College Biology Department

0.00 - 4.00 Credits
The complimentary relationship between structure and function will be explored at the microscopic level, and how these structures integrate into systems and complex organisms will be studied. Primarily vertebrate/mammalian histology will be emphasized in the course. Laboratory studies will include the preparation of tissue for light microscopy and the examination and interpretation of slides. Three hours lecture, four hours recitation/laboratory. Lab Fee. 0.000 TO 4.000 Credit Hours 0.000 TO 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lab, Lecture Theoretical & Applied Science College Biology Department

3.00 Credits
The descriptions and topics of this course change from semester-to-semester, as well as from instructor-to-instructor. Prerequisite: varies with the topic offered. Spring 2008 topic: BIOL 390 PLANT DIVERSITY: ALL THINGS GREEN AND WONDERFUL. From the humblest unicellular alga to the mighty angiosperms that rule the world, the major players in the evolutionary history of plants will be the objects of our inquiries. What were some of the "obstacles" plants had to overcome to transition from aquatic to terrestrial habitats, and how were those obstacles overcome Why aren't mushrooms, seaweed, or lichens considered plants Do plants occur in the fossil record Why are there so many variations on the theme of alternation of generations, and can any trends be detected in these variations Why are there so many species of angiosperms now These are some of the questions we will explore through a combination of lectures, readings, discussions, and lab investigations. Prerequisites: BIOL 110 and 112. 0.000 TO 4.000 Credit Hours 0.000 TO 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lab, Lecture Theoretical & Applied Science College Biology Department
