0.00 Credits
An advanced-level seminar on the historical and recent biological, physical, and artificial factors controlling the distribution of marine organisms, particularly seaweeds. Class discussions focus on primary phytogeographical literature. An investigative search and term paper on the known distribution of a marine alga is required. Prerequisite: C- or better in Biology 336L or Permission of Instructor. 1.00 units, Seminar
-
25.00 Credits
This integrative course examines the cell biology, development, physiology and ecology of the senses (vision, audition, olfaction, taste and touch). We will discuss the complex ways humans gather, filter and process sensory information; and how animals sense the world quite differently. The laboratory section will include histological and physiological studies, and some field studies of animal communication (formerly Biology 373L). Prerequisite: C- or better in Biology 319 or Neuroscience 201. 1.25 units, Lecture

The word "symbiosis" was coined to describe an arrangement in which organisms of different species live closely together. The relationship may be of mutual benefit (mutualism), may be of benefit to one member while harmful to the other (parasitism), or may be beneficial to one and of neutral effect on the other (commensalism). Examples of the incredible variety of relationships include the commensalism between remoras and sharks, the parasitism of mistletoes on trees, and the mutualism of ants and acacia plants. Some of the most important events in the history of life-the origin of eukaryotic cells, for example-are the result of ancient symbiotic interactions. We will examine the natural history, physiology, and evolution of these remarkable association Prerequisite: C- or better in Biology 152L and Biology 153L or Biology 182L and Biology 203L or Permission of Instructor. 1.00 units, Seminar

An extended paper on the subject of the student's two-semester research project with a professor in biology, to be read by three or more members of the department. This course is open only to those biology majors who wish to qualify for honors (see paragraph on Honors in Biology in the description of the major). Simultaneous enrollment in Biology 419 or 425 and 404, submission of the special registration form available in the Registrar's Office, and approval of the instructor and chair are required for enrollment. Prerequisite: Simultaneous enrollment in Biology 419 or 425 and Biology 404. 0.50 units, Independent Study

1.00 Credits
This course will explore the ways modern chemists determine the composition and structures of chemicals, with an emphasis on molecules that are found in nature. Topics to be covered include the interpretation of infrared spectra, mass spectra, and proton and carbon nuclear magnetic resonance spectra. 1.00 units, Lecture
-
1.25 Credits
The study of the major concepts and theories required for an understanding of chemical phenomena. Principal topics include atomic and molecular structure, gas laws, stoichiometry, changes of state, chemical binding, solutions, and energetics in chemical reactions. Laboratory work includes quantitative measurements of solutions, synthesis, characterization of chemicals by physical and spectroscopic methods, molecular modeling, and student-assigned projects concentrating on quantitative measurements of solutions. Course intended primarily for students with little or no previous chemistry background. 1.25 units, Lecture
-
25.00 Credits
A continuation of Chemistry 111L with emphasis on chemical equilibria, electrochemistry, kinetics, and a presentation of the properties and reactions of selected elements. Laboratory work is devoted to the analysis of systems involving the principles and concepts studied in the classroom. To the greatest extent possible, laboratory and lecture section assignments shall remain the same as for Chemistry 111L. Prerequisite: Chemistry 111L, with a grade of at least C-. 1.25 units, Lecture
-
1.00 Credits
This course explores the fundamental chemistry relevant to environmental pollution through lectures, discussion, and class activities which measure actual pollution levels in the Hartford area. The types of pollutants, the risks associated with pollution, and the steps which can be taken to ameliorate pollution will be discussed, with particular emphasis on the urban environment. Not creditable to chemistry or biochemistry majors. Enrollment limited. 1.00 units, Lecture
