-
3.00 Credits
Explores the biological processes occurring in physical, biological, and human environments. Issues of ecology, resource utilization, pollution, global warming, wilderness, energy, solid waste management, risk assessment, and environmental ethics and citizenship are studied. A one-credit laboratory may be separately scheduled.
-
1.00 Credits
A laboratory that complements but is independent of the Environmental Science lectures. Labs study a core of material on water pollution, lake and streams, soils, home energy, noise, and additional topics representing local concerns. ( Prerequisite: Prior or concurrent enrollment in BIO 104 or permission of instructor.)
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to the basic human physiology and pharmacology as it relates to the use/abuse of alcohol and drugs. Attention is given to the pharmacological classification of drugs, their actions and their consequences for the human being. ( Prerequisite: BIO 100 or BIO 101)
-
3.00 Credits
This course is designed to introduce students to the history of lie on earth as it is currently understood by scientists. Scientific explanations for the origins of the earth and life will be discussed. Principles of heredity and evolution will be used to explain life's progression over time. Adaptations of life will be viewed as progressive challenges to new environments and conditions. A variety of living things such as bacteria, plants, invertebrates, reptiles, birds, and mammals will be explored. The development of primates, humans, and civilization will be covered. This course is primarily designed for non-science majors
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction of major ecological concepts and functions designed to show the interrelationships between organisms and their environments. Topics will include population dynamics, community structure, ecosystem diversity, biochemical cycles, natural selection and relevant environmental issues.
-
3.00 Credits
A survey of the natural history of the Adirondacks. This course looks at the ecology of the plant and animal communities of this region, and involves both classroom and outdoor activities. Background in biology beneficial but not necessary.
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to the world of the small, including the biology of bacteria and their role in health and disease. Selected representatives of other groups of microbes (fungi, protozoans, viruses) are also studied. Safe methods of study, growth, and control of growth of microorganisms are central to this course. Lecture and laboratory. ( Prerequisite: BIO 100 or BIO 101.)
-
4.00 Credits
The first half of a two semester in-depth study of the structure and functioning of the human body, including the study of basic chemistry, cells, tissues, and the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, and circulatory systems. Emphasis is on normal processes of growth maintenance and repair. Lecture and laboratory. ( Prerequisite: BIO 100 or permission of Department Chair.)
-
4.00 Credits
The second half of an in-depth study of the structure and functioning of the human body, including the study of the major organ systems, ranging from the respiratory through the reproductive systems. Metabolism, development, and heredity are studied. Emphasis is on homeostatic mechanisms and adaptive processes in the healthy state. Lecture and laboratory. ( Prerequisite: BIO 215.)
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to human movement from both anatomical and mechanical perspectives. Neuromuscular physiology, muscle roles, types of muscle, contraction, movement sequencing and mechanical analysis of movement are included. Related neuromuscular pathologies as well as common sports injuries are discussed. Lecture and laboratory. ( Prerequisite: BIO 215, additionally BIO 216 must be taken previously or concurrently.)
