1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: none Practical nursing students study disease-causing representatives of different groups of microorganisms and how these are transmitted and controlled. They also learn how to avoid the spread of infectious microorganisms in the hospital environment. This is a web-based course.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIO 1040 and BIO 1040L or BIO 1060 and BIO 1060L or BIO 2070 and BIO 2070L or biology placement; and MTH 1040 or math placement Students study the major groups of microorganisms, their structure, metabolism, epidemiology, and control of microbial growth. Immunology is strongly emphasized.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIO 1010 and BIO 10l0L or BIO 1020 and BIO 1020L or biology placement plus MTH 1000 or MTH 1040 or math placement; or BIO 1060 and BIO 1060L or BIO 1070 and BIO 1070L Students learn the basic principles of ecology. They study the interrelationships of plants and animals with physical and biotic factors of the environment, the structure and composition of terrestrial and aquatic communities, and population dynamics. Also included are competition, predator/prey interactions, nutrient cycles, and energy flow. Students who have received credit for BIO 1700 may not receive credit for BIO 2017. This is a web-based course.
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIO 2017 taken in the same or a previous semester Students investigate terrestrial, fresh water, and marine habitats. They learn quantitative sampling techniques and experimental design in laboratory and field settings. Students who have received credit for BIO 1700L may not receive credit for BIO 2017L. This is a web-based course. Offered days only in the fall semester. Course fee: $60.00
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: RDG 0800 or placement Students learn how the form and functions of certain organisms enable them to live in the sea. They also study the physical and chemical characteristics of the major marine environments and their relation to marine life, and the impact of human activities on the sea's organisms. Optional self-guided field trips have variable costs.
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIO 2030 taken in the same or a previous semester In this laboratory course, students gain problem solving and data analysis skills, and study adaptations, identification, and classification of selected groups of marine organisms. Optional self-guided field trips have variable costs. Offered irregularly. Course fee: $55.00
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIO 1060 and BIO 1060L or biology placement; or BIO 1020 and BIO 1020L or biology placement plus MTH 1000 or MTH 1040 or math placement Students study the principles and molecular basis of inheritance in terms of structure, function, and changes in genetic material in viruses, bacteria, and higher organisms; transmission and expression of genetic material; extra chromosomal inheritance, gene mapping, genetic control of metabolism, and recombinant DNA. Students solve real and simulated problems using principles of inheritance.
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIO 2040 taken in the same or a previous semester Students investigate the basic principles of genetics using various organisms (drosophila, bacteria, green plants, and animal cells). Students use various laboratory techniques including paper chromatography and gel electrophoresis. Computer simulations are used and statistical analysis is emphasized throughout the course. Course fee: $60.00
-
2.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIO 2080 and CHE 1200 and CHE 1200L; plus BIO 2150L taken in the same semester Basic principles of human nutrition as applied to the maintenance of health and disease prevention are studied. Topics include nutritional requirements at different developmental stages: digestion, absorption, storage, and metabolism of major nutrients; energy balance and caloric requirements; and hormonal influences on metabolism. Also covered are examples of nutrition-related dysfunctions. This course is intended for students with an interest in health services. Credit for this course may be earned through departmental examination. Offered in the spring semester.
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: BIO 2150 taken in the same semester Students work individually and in groups on a range of topics including digestive enzymes, analysis of food stuffs, dietary needs assessment, caloric expenditure, effect of diet on growth and development, and dietary surveys. Credit for this course may be earned through departmental examination. Course fee: $45.00
