4.00 Credits
BIOL 1100 with a minimum grade of C or better or GEOL 2101. Not open to freshmen. (Same as GEOL 3242.) Paleontology in general provides the only direct means for studying the actual history of life on earth. Vertebrate paleontology in particular focuses only on that portion of the fossil record pertaining to the origin, evolution, diversity, and distribution of animals with backbones: fish, amphibians, reptiles (especially dinosaurs), birds, and mammals (including humans). Weekly laboratories include several field trips. Offered alternate spring terms. Faculty: R. WOOD 4.000 Credit hours 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Natural Sciences & Mathematics Division Biology Department
-
4.00 Credits
BIOL 1200, BIOL 1205, CHEM 2120 and CHEM 2125. (See CHEM 3250) (Same as CHEM 3250.) Chemistry of biological systems. Topics include the role of enzymes (including structure, kinetics and mechanisms of catalysis plus the relationship between proteins and the gene) and metabolism (with focus on the synthesis and breakdown of carbohydrates and proteins). Faculty: K. KEENAN, B. ROGERSON 4.000 Credit hours 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Natural Sciences & Mathematics Division Biology Department
-
4.00 Credits
BIOL 1100 or MARS 2201. (Same as MARS 3300.) The lower and higher invertebrates: classification, structure and function, life history, and phylogeny. Identification, dissections, habitat study, sampling techniques, and aspects of behavior. Includes laboratory and fieldwork. Faculty: R. HAGER 4.000 Credit hours 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Natural Sciences & Mathematics Division Biology Department
-
4.00 Credits
ENVL 2200 or BIOL 2100. (Same as MARS 3330.) This course focuses on comparisons of coastal habitats. We study the physical and biological structure and ecological interactions of local and exotic marine shores are studied. Includes fieldwork in local salt marshes, jetties, and dunes, and a term research project are included. Faculty: C. SLOCUM 4.000 Credit hours 4.000 Lecture hours 3.000 Lab hours 0.000 Other hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Natural Sciences & Mathematics Division Biology Department

4.00 Credits
Either both BIOL 1100 and 1200 with a minimum grade of C or better or MARS 2201. (Same as MARS 3333.) This course provides a comprehensive study of the diverse and unusual biological communities found in the deep sea. Particular emphasis will be placed on adaptations made by deep-sea organisms to survive the extremely hostile conditions found in the cold, dark waters where no sunlight penetrates and pressure is more than 200 times greater than that experienced by surface organisms. In addition, unique undersea habitats, such as deep-sea hydrothermal vents will be covered in depth. Faculty: T. HARMER LUKE 4.000 Credit hours 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Natural Sciences & Mathematics Division Biology Department
-
4.00 Credits
BIOL 1100 and one BIOL field course or equivalent, or see instructor. (Same as MARS 3340.) The living classes of fishes considered, with an emphasis on taxonomy and ecology. Laboratories emphasize the taxonomy and ecology of fishes of the northeastern United States. Faculty: M. SULLIVAN 4.000 Credit hours 4.000 Lecture hours 3.000 Lab hours 0.000 Other hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Natural Sciences & Mathematics Division Biology Department
-
4.00 Credits
BIOL/CHEM 3250.(See CHEM 3250.) (Same as CHEM 3350.) An advanced laboratory course in biochemical experimental techniques and instrumentation. A sampling of projects includes purification of biomolecules and characterization of a metabolic pathway. The techniques include protein electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), immunioprecipitation, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), enzyme assays, and clorimetric assays. Faculty: K. KEENAN, B. ROGERSON 4.000 Credit hours 8.000 Lab hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lab Natural Sciences & Mathematics Division Biology Department

4.00 Credits
BIOL 2110; Not open to students in MPT program. This course covers the cellular basis of neuronal function, including neuronal structure, membrane potential, how it changes as part of neuronal function and a detailed understanding of the workings of synapses. Students will develop a clear understanding of the sensory transduction across several modalities, and an understanding of how sensory information is processed in the central nervous system to create more complex representations. Faculty: T. HARESIGN 4.000 Credit hours 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Natural Sciences & Mathematics Division Biology Department

4.00 Credits
BIOL 1100, BIOL 1105, BIOL 1200, and BIOL 1205. (BIOL 1100 and 1200 minimum grade of C or better.) This course examines the economically valuable members of the plant kingdom including fungi, algae and higher plants. This survey includes food and agriculture, industrial feedstock, cloth and dye, plant based medicines, building materials psychoactive drugs and alternative fuels. The relationships of the economically useful products to the structure and function of the plant will also be explored. This course meets the plant requirement for BIOL major. Faculty: E. SEDIA 4.000 Credit hours 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Natural Sciences & Mathematics Division Biology Department
