4.00 Credits
This course surveys the various groups of plants, their structures and functions, their ecology and economic importance. It provides an appreciation and knowledge of plant products providing food, medicine, lumber, textiles, and other natural resources. The course includes a conceptual understanding of such topics as the greenhouse effect, organic gardening, transgenic plants, tropical rainforests, endemic and
-
4.00 Credits
An introductory level course dealing with Marine Science. It provides a framework for illustrating biological principles and processes. Aspects taught include ecology, diversity of plants and animals, marine communities and habitats, and current issues and topics related to human intervention. Laboratory emphasis is on observation, sampling, and studies of marine animals and plant communities. Field trips are a required portion of the course. (3 lecture, 3 laboratory hours) Laboratory fee applies. SUNY GEN ED-GLAB; NCC GEN ED-LSCI
-
4.00 Credits
The course includes basic chemistry, history of healing plants, medicinally active ingredients of plants, and modes of action of traditional and modern medicines on the human physiology. The laboratory component requires students to perform research, test common myths using the scientific processes, analyze data, and participate in other investigative exercises. (3 lecture, 3 laboratory hours) Laboratory fee applies. SUNY GEN ED-n/a; NCC GEN ED-n/a
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIO 101 The course is designed to familiarize students with a host of clinical diseases and their signs, symptoms, risk factors, and treatments. Case studies will be used throughout the course: including use of Internet information from national disease websites. Student will also be required to demonstrate their knowledge of human anatomy. SUNY GEN ED-n/a; NCC GEN ED-n/a
-
2.00 Credits
Prerequisites: High school biology or similar course experience. The fundamental principles of ecology are presented through habitat explorations. Patterns of animal behavior (ethology) along with the physical specializations adapting wildlife to their habitats are emphasized. Working with locally found living vertebrate and invertebrate species students will produce photo-essay investigations of assigned wildlife topics. Students must have a camera and are responsible for their own transportation to, from and around field sites. (3 lecture, 3 laboratory hours for 7 1/2 weeks. This is a half semester course that may be taken in sequence with BIO 165 for 4 credits). Laboratory fee applies. SUNY GEN ED-GLAB; NCC GEN ED-LSCI

2.00 Credits
Prerequisites: High school biology or similar course experience. The course aims at expanding the student's knowledge about Long Island's ecological diversity. During field trips students will investigate the factors affecting the preservation of several natural ecosystems in proximity to the College. Critical thinking skills, class discussions and natural science methodology will be combined for the production of photo-essays exploring Long Island's plant and animal communities. The impact of commercial development on ecological balance and items in local news provide the themes for class projects. Students must have a camera and are responsible for their own transportation to, from and around field sites. (3 lecture, 3 laboratory hours for 7 1/2 weeks. This is a half semester course that may be taken in sequence with BIO 162 for 4 credits). Laboratory fee applies. SUNY GEN ED-GLAB; NCC GEN ED-LSCI
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIO 101 and BIO 102 or BIO 109 and BIO 110 with a grade of C or better in each course. This course is an exploration of the intricate structure of the human body. The student studies the various tissues, organs, and systems which function together to maintain life. The laboratory includes dissection of a representative mammal - the cat. (3 lecture, 3 laboratory hours) Laboratory fee applies. SUNY GEN ED-n/a; NCC GEN ED-n/a
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIO 201 with a grade of C or better. A study of the normal functions of the human organism. The student surveys the various systems of the body, their activities and interrelationships. Much of the laboratory work involves measurement of human body functions. Combined with BIO 201, this course is an excellent introduction to anatomy and physiology. (3 lecture, 3 laboratory hours) Laboratory fee applies. SUNY GEN ED-n/a; NCC GEN ED-n/a
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: A one-year college level science course or permission of the Department. An introduction to the interactions of the chemical, geological, physical, and biological processes of the marine environment. Laboratory emphasis on observation, sampling techniques and analytical procedures. Field trips are a required portion of course. (3 lecture, 3 laboratory hours, including field trips) Laboratory fee applies. SUNY GEN ED-GLAB; NCC GEN ED-n/a
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIO 109 or BIO 110 or permission of the Department. This course provides an introduction to the plant and animal communities inhabiting shallow and deep North Atlantic marine waters. Emphasis is placed on diversity of adaptations for interaction with the varied salt water environments. Field trips are a required portion of course. (3 lecture, 3 laboratory hours, including field trips) Laboratory fee applies. SUNY GEN ED-GLAB; NCC GEN ED-n/a
