4.00 Credits
(formerly BIOL-H130) 4 cr. Students may not receive credit for both BIO*H110 and BIO*H115. This introductory course will focus on the overarching themes of health, homeostasis, evolution and the environment as they relate to human body systems. Laboratory experiments include microscopic examination of cells and tissues, anatomy, physiology of nerves and muscles, blood typing, and principles of inheritance. Three hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory weekly.
-
4.00 Credits
4 cr. The general principles of biology are taught integrating lectures, laboratory experiments, computer simulations, discussions, and other activities to help students gain an understanding of the essential biological concepts. The foci of this course are scientific method, cell biology, prokaryotic organisms, basic cell chemistry, photosynthesis, cellular respiration, mitosis & meiosis, genetics, and biotechnology (plant tissue culture, genetic transformation). Cooperative learning, critical thinking, library research, as well as presentation skills are utilized culminating in a team project that includes a written paper and a short presentation. This course is one part of a two semester sequence in general biology primarily for students seeking transfer into a four-year degree program. BIO*H121 and H122 (Organismal Biology) can be taken in any order. This course satisfies the common core science requirement. Integrated 3 hours lecture & 3 hours lab

4.00 Credits
4 cr. Utilizing the same integrative approach as BIO*H121, students will investigate biotechnology (gel electrophoresis for DNA and protein analysis), biological statistics, population genetics, evolution, protists, plant biology (lifecycles and growth of fungi, non-vascular and vascular plants), animal biology (early development and histology, comparison of invertebrate and vertebrate life cycles and physiological systems), animal behavior, and ecology. Science process skills are emphasized. Collaboratively, students will investigate a scientific research topic culminating in a written report and oral presentation to their peers. This course is one part of a two semester sequence in general biology primarily for students seeking transfer into a four-year degree program. This is the second semester of general biology; however, BIO*H121 and H122 can be taken in any order. This course satisfies the common core science requirement for both non-majors & majors. Integrated 3 hours lecture & 3 hours lab
-
4.00 Credits
4 cr. This course studies the fundamental concepts underpinning the expanding field of biotechnology with an emphasis on agricultural and environmental applications. It is a hands-on course where students will actively investigate essential cell biology; genetics (transmission, molecular, and population); applications of biotechnology utilizing plants, microorganisms, animals; impact of biotechnology in medicine (allergic immune response, gene therapy, stem cells), as well as related regulatory and societal issues. Actual experimentation, computer simulations, student presentations/reports, and fieldtrips are also used to facilitate active learning. This course will satisfy a science laboratory core requirement. Integrated 3 hours lecture & 3 hours lab
-
4.00 Credits
4 cr. This lecture-laboratory is a survey of the animal kingdom. Topics discussed include morphology, anatomy and physiology, life cycles, reproduction, evolution, and ecological relationships of various animal forms. Three hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory weekly.
-
4.00 Credits
4 cr. The focus of this course primarily concerns how plants function. The topics studied include plant growth and development, cells and tissues, cellular and system physiology, hormonal response, plant tissue culture, soils, pathology, medicinal and poisonous plants, as well as economic botany. The laboratory component is blended with the lecture sessions and includes experiments, computer simulations, tissue culture, and work in the Tamarack Arboretum. Integrated 3 hours lecture & 3 hours lab
-
4.00 Credits
4 cr. Lecture-laboratory. This is an introduction to ecology with special emphasis on identification of Connecticut plants and animals in the outdoors. A wide range of topics will be presented including map reading, edible wild foods, and collecting. Three hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory weekly.
-
3.00 Credits
3 cr. This is a survey course of Environmental studies. Topics discussed include basic ecology; human populations; water, soil, forests and pollution; renewable and non-renewable energy; legislation; citizens action. Dynamic Environmental systems are explored via computer simulations.
-
4.00 Credits
4 cr. Note: Students may not receive credit for both BIO*H180 and BIO*H181. This course has the same lecture as BIO*H180; however, there is an additional laboratory component. Laboratory experiences include water and soil analyses, pond and river studies, computer simulations, field trips to Environmental quality facilities and laboratories. Three hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory weekly.
-
4.00 Credits
4 cr. Prerequisite: Completion of BIO*H105 or BIO*H115 with a grade of "C"or better or by permission of the Division Director. Lecture-laboratory. This is the first semester of a two semester comprehensive course designed for those students who plan to continue in the science field or science-related areas. Major topic areas include molecular biology, cells, tissues and the integumentary, skeletal, muscular and nervous systems of the human body. Three hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory weekly.
