4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: CHEM 122 and either BIOL 140 or BIOL 144 This is an introduction to the dynamic functions of the human organism from the chemical and molecular mechanisms that sustain cellular processes through the control systems responsible for homeostasis and the influence of these systems on the cellular function of organ and systems operation. Laboratory investigation using selected biochemical and physiological preparations allows correlation of theory with experimental observations. 3 hrs. lecture, 3 hrs. lab/wk.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIOL 144 or BIOL 225 This introduction to the physiology of disease covers common disorders of the body from the cellular to the systemic level. Topics include causes, symptoms, diagnostic tests and treatments of disease. 4 hrs. lecture/wk.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: CHEM 122 or one year of high school chemistry This is a general introductory course in microbiology. It provides a background in many areas of microbiology with an emphasis on medical aspects. The structure, physiology, antimicrobial agents, immunology and host-parasite relationship of microorganisms will be studied, with an emphasis on bacteria. 3 hrs./wk.

2.00 Credits
BIOL 231 students must be currently enrolled in BIOL 230 or have successfully completed BIOL 230 within the last three years. Students will learn aseptic techniques and apply them in the isolation of pure cultures of bacteria. Students will also perform various staining techniques and chemical tests to identify these bacteria. The response of bacteria to changes in environmental conditions will also be examined. Various life stages of medically important parasites will also be observed. 4 hrs./wk. Associated Costs: In addition to the course tuition, fees, and textbooks, this course has additional expense considerations that are estimated to be $35.

3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: CHEM 122 and BIOL 144 or CHEM 122 and BIOL 140 and BIOL 225 This introductory course provides a basic knowledge of human nutrition. Students will learn the sources and functions of the various nutrients. They will also explore the interaction of diet, disease prevention and treatment. Through the use of a computerized nutrition program, students will analyze their diets for nutritional deficiencies and excesses. 3 hrs. lecture/wk.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIOL 225 This course provides a basic understanding of the science of drugs-how they work and what they do. Students will study various drug concepts including mechanism of action, pharmacologic class, pharmaco-kinetics, pharmacodynamics and clinical implications. 3 hrs. lecture/wk. Spring.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 122 and BIOL 123 or BIOL 130 and BIOL 131 or equivalent courses or consent of the assistant dean Major topics in this course will include population dynamics, competition, predation, mutualism, community structure, ecological succession, energy flow, nutrient cycling, and biogeography. Students will also review the major features of terrestrial, freshwater, and marine ecosystems. Field and laboratory experiments will introduce students to several different habitat types; various techniques commonly used in ecology; and engage students in collecting, analyzing and evaluating ecological data. Lab reports emphasize critical evaluation of ecological concepts and data and effective scientific communication. 3 hrs. lecture, 3 hrs. lab/wk.

5.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 135 and BIOT 160 and BIOT 165 All prerequisites require a grade of "C" or higher This is an introductory course in microbiology for biotechnology students. It provides a background in many areas of microbiology with an emphasis on molecular aspects and applications for biotechnology. Industrial and food microbiology will also be examined. The structure, physiology, antimicrobial agents, immunology and host-parasite relationship of microorganisms will also be studied, with an emphasis on bacteria. Students will learn aseptic techniques and apply them in the isolation, growth and maintenance of pure cultures of bacteria. Students will also perform various molecular and genetic techniques as well as chemical tests to identify these bacteria. The growth phases of bacteria and response of bacteria to changes in environmental conditions will be examined. 3 hrs lecture, 4 hrs lab /wk.
