5.00 Credits
This is a survey of the life, structure, and growth of animals. Students will concentrate on identifying animals by their structural characteristics and looking at the role adaptation plays in anatomical and physiological features. Students will do dissections and microscopic analysis of the major phyla. 3 hrs. lecture, 4 hrs. lab/wk.
-
3.00 Credits
Environmental Science seeks to describe problems and solutions associated with human use of natural resources. Students will study the major physical and biological processes that govern the complex interactions in natural ecosystems. Major course topics include human population growth, resource use and pollution. Practical solutions aimed at sustainability will be identified and examined. This is an introductory, nonscience-major survey course. 3 hrs./wk. BIOL 131 students must be currently enrolled in BIOL 130 or have successfully completed BIOL 130 within the last three years. This course may be offered as a Learning Communities (LCOM) section, see current credit schedule for LCOM details.

1.00 Credits
Prerequisite or corequisite: BIOL 130 In this lab, students will learn ecological principles that are necessary for understanding and solving environmental problems. Students will sample the local environment for various types of environmental pollution, conduct lab projects and computer simulations, and attend field trips. Field trips may include a visit to a local wastewater treatment plant, a stream ecosystem and a prairie ecosystem. 2 hrs.lab/wk. plus up to three field trips. BIOL 131 students must be currently enrolled in BIOL 130 or have successfully completed BIOL 130 within the last three years.
-
4.00 Credits
This is an integrated lecture and laboratory course for biology majors and students planning to take additional courses in biology. Subjects covered include basic biochemistry, cell structure and function, cellular metabolism, Mendelian and molecular genetics, natural selection and evolution, cell physiology and development of plants and animals from the single-celled stage to the embryonic stage. 3 hrs. lecture, 2 hrs. lab/wk.
-
4.00 Credits
Students will study gross and microscopic aspects of cells, tissues and organ systems of the human body. They will concentrate on a detailed analysis of the structure of each body system. 3 hrs. lecture, 3 hrs. lab/wk. The Open Anatomy Lab, 311 CLB, is available for students enrolled in Human Anatomy and Human Anatomy and Physiology classes at JCCC. Contact your professor, check the schedule outside of 311 CLB or call 913-469-8500, ext. 4124, for hours. A current student ID is required for using the Open Anatomy Lab.

5.00 Credits
This course provides basic knowledge on human structures and their function. Students will study the relationship of structures to function in the organ systems of the human body. Emphasis will be on the identification of the anatomical features and their functions. This course is integrated lecture and laboratory. 3 hrs. lecture, 4 hrs. lab/wk. The Open Anatomy Lab, 311 CLB, is available for students enrolled in Human Anatomy and Human Anatomy and Physiology classes at JCCC. Contact your professor, check the schedule outside of 311 CLB or call 913-469-8500, ext. 4124, for hours. A current student ID is required for using the Open Anatomy Lab.

1.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 144 and Assistant Dean's Approval Students will dissect the cat and study the relationship of structures to function in the organ systems of the cat. In this laboratory course, they will also dissect the cow kidney, heart, brain and eye. Students will compare and contrast these structures and functions with the organ systems of the human body. 2 hrs. lab/wk. Students enrolling in BIOL 145 should have completed BIOL 140 or BIOL 144 and have the approval of the assistant dean. Associated Costs: In addition to the course tuition, fees, and textbooks, this course has additional expense considerations that are estimated to be $35.
-
5.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIOL 135 or consent of the assistant dean This is a survey of the five kingdoms of life. Monera, fungi, protista, plant and animal kingdoms will be presented, with emphasis on life cycles, anatomy, physiology and ecology of the major groups. 4 hrs. lecture, 3 hrs. lab/wk.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIOL 122 or BIOL 135 or equivalent, or permission of the assistant dean This course is an introductory course in ethics with an emphasis on the ethical content raised by the discipline of biology. The student will examine the major ethical theories, including deontology, act utilitarianism, rule utilitarianism, along with select others. Study of the theories will enable the analysis of case studies involving such issues as human populations problems, reproductive technologies, genetic engineering of humans and other organisms, stem cells and their use, beginning/ending of life, the human genome project, environmental impact of humans, cloning, medical and non-medical genetic interventions, and biological ethics. 3 hrs. lecture/wk.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIOL 122 or BIOL 135 or the equivalent introductory college-level course. All prerequisites require a grade of "C" or higher This introductory course emphasizes human heredity using concepts from classical and modern genetics. Themes of advancing technologies and bioethical issues are interwoven in the basic background fabric of the course. 3 hrs. lecture, 2 hrs. lab/wk.
