3.00 Credits
A study of the cell, the fundamental unit of biological structure and function. An introductory section on bioenergetics and biochemistry lay the groundwork for the consideration of the cell through a modern interdisciplinary approach. The course examines the ultra structure of the cell and of the most universal cell functions: transport, cellular respiration, photosynthesis, cellular reproduction, and protein synthesis. Lecture themes are illustrated in the laboratory. 3 hours lecture/2 hours laboratory Prerequisite: Placement above or successful completion of ENG 060 (EN 2103) and eligibility for MAT 080 (MA 1104) and ENG 101 (EN 1103). A college-level lab science or high school biology or chemistry in the last five years. Recommendation: Concurrent enrollment in ENG 075 (EN 2122) or ENG 085 (EN 2131) if CPT reading placement test is between 68 and 75. General Education Electives: Science Intensive Values: Technology/Environment/Health

3.00 Credits
An examination, in laboratory and lecture, of several of the topics chosen from the following: cellular reproduction, genetics, evolution, biotechnology, development and reproduction, a survey of living organisms and ecology. BIO 131 (SC 2101) and BIO 132 (SC 2102) together form a coordinated full-year, laboratory biology sequence. 3 hours lecture/2 hours laboratory. Prerequisite: BIO 131 (SC 2101) Grade of C or better is strongly recommended. General Education Electives: Science Intensive Values: Written Communication

3.00 Credits
An introductory survey of the plant kingdom with special emphasis on the morphology, physiology, and embryology of the higher vascular plants, namely angiosperms and gymnosperms. The economic and medicinal importance of plants to humans may also be examined. Laboratory exercises illustrate topics discussed in lecture. 3 hours lecture/2 hours laboratory Corequisite: Placement above or successful completion of ENG 060 (EN 2103) and eligibility for ENG 101 (EN 1103). Recommendation: Concurrent enrollment in ENG 075 (EN 2122) or ENG 085 (EN 2131) if CPT reading placement test is between 68 and 75. General Education Electives: Science Intensive Values: Technology/Environment/Health

3.00 Credits
An introductory survey of animals including protozoans, invertebrates, and vertebrates. For each group studied, life features such as metabolism, control and coordination, maintenance of homeostasis, reproduction, and ecological relationships are examined. 3 hours lecture/2 hours laboratory Prerequisite: Placement above or successful completion of ENG 060 (EN 2103). Recommendation: Concurrent enrollment in ENG 075 (EN 2122) or ENG 085 (EN 2131) if CPT reading placement test between 68 and 75. General Education Electives: Science

3.00 Credits
This course is the first half of an intensive two-semester sequence designed to integrate the study of the structure and function of the human body. The semester begins with a study of the chemical and cellular levels of organization as related to molecular biology, cellular transport, and histology. The central theme of homeostasis then is applied to the integumentary, skeletal, muscular systems and nervous system. 3 hours lecture/2 hours laboratory Prerequisite: Placement above 75 on the CPT reading test and completion of or current enrollment in ENG 101 (EN 1103); completion of BIO 120 (SC 2100) or BIO 131 (SC 2101) or high school biology and chemistry in the last five years. General Education Electives: Science Intensive Values: Technology/Environment/Health

3.00 Credits
Builds on the fundamentals studied in BIO 231 (SC 2115) by exploring the more intricate systems of the body. Emphasis is placed on the physiological theory related to the normal functions of respiration, circulation, digestion, excretion, and reproduction. Students will master the basic principles that explain each system through active exercises integrating writing, as well as through laboratory experimentation. 3 hours lecture/2 hours laboratory Prerequisite: BIO 231 (SC 2115) General Education Electives: Science
-
3.00 Credits
A study of microscopic organisms, including bacteria, protozoa, fungi, parasitic worms and viruses, with an emphasis on the role of these organisms in health and disease. Aseptic laboratory technique, varied cultivation methods and standard diagnostic procedures are included. 3 hours lecture/2 hours laboratory Prerequisites: BIO 131 (SC 2101) or BIO 231 (SC 2115) within the past 5 years. General Education Electives: Science Intensive Values: Technology/Environment/Health
-
3.00 Credits
A practical study of microorganisms, with an emphasis on the isolation, culture, characterization, and laboratory manipulation of these organisms. Approaches microbiology from a microbial ecology viewpoint as it relates to the biotechnical and applied industrial microbiology laboratory. Use of experimental protocols, standard operating procedures, good laboratory practices, the scientific method, and the laboratory notebook are stressed. 3 hours lecture/3 hours laboratory Prerequisite: TMA 090 (MA 3123), BIO 131 (SC 2101), CHE 121 (SC 3121), ENG 101 (EN 1103) General Education Electives: Science Intensive Values: Written Communication 93

3.00 Credits
This course provides students with a broad introductory background in human immunology. Structure and function of the various components of the immune system will be covered. Topics covered include: humoral and cell-mediated immunity; immunological techniques (such as ELISA, RIA, IFA, and monoclonal antibody production) and the genetic basis of the immune response. The course is required for an associate degree in Biotechnology. 3 hours lecture/3 hours laboratory Prerequisite: Certificate in Biotechnology or permission of the instructor General Education Electives: Science Intensive Values: Multicultural/Global Awareness
