1.00 Credits
This course explores the diversity of life and how organisms, including humans, function and interact in the biological world. Topics include how scientists identify and evaluate questions and the genetics, evolution, ecology, physiology, and cellular biology of living organisms. Approaches to understanding these topics will change depending on the instructor. Connections are made across disciplines through discussion, lecture, case studies, and laboratories. For students not intending to major in the sciences. BIO-100 and BIO-101 cannot both be taken for credit. NASP, Fall or Spring semester.

1.00 Credits
A general introduction to the study of biology. Topics include the structural organization of organisms, cellular reproduction, basic metabolism, genetics, ecology, and evolution. Four lectures and one two-hour laboratory per week. Required for students intending to major in Biology, Environmental Studies, or Nursing. Recommended for majors in Chemistry, Life Science Teaching, and Health Fitness. NASP, Fall semester.

1.00 Credits
This course covers the basics of plant and animal organization. Topics include phylogeny, development, and the structural-functional relationships of plants and animals. Four lectures and one three-hour laboratory weekly. Prerequisite: BIO-101. Spring semester.
-
1.00 Credits
A study of the interactions between microbes and humans, with a particular focus on human disease. Topics include the morphology and biochemistry of bacteria and viruses, how they cause human disease, how the body fights infection, and how infection can be controlled. Three lectures and three hours of laboratory weekly. NASP, Spring semester.

1.00 Credits
This course provides a study of the structure and function of eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. Additional topics include energy transformation, respiration, photosynthesis, cytogenetics, signal transduction, and the molecular aspects of gene regulation. Four lectures and one three-hour laboratory weekly. Prerequisites: bio-101, BIO-102, CHE-107, CHE-141. Fall semester.
-
1.00 Credits
This course focuses on three themes: ( 1) the mechanisms and patterns of microevolution and macroevolution, including the evidence for evolution and a broad survey of the evolution of life on earth; ( 2) ecology, including organismal responses to the environment, population dynamics, species interactions, community structure, and ecosystem processes; and ( 3) behavior. Four lectures and one three-hour laboratory or field trip weekly. Prerequisites: BIO-101, BIO-102, BIO-201, CHE-107, and CHE-141. Spring semester.
-
1.00 Credits
This course explores the life styles of the many animals without backbones. This exploration includes invertebrate life histories, taxonomy, forms, and functions. Lectures focus on the unique features of different invertebrate phyla and the interesting ways animals interact with each other and their environments. We cover topics in animal classification, life history, and various types of human-invertebrate interactions. Laboratory work examines invertebrate diversity on campus and responses to features of their environment, as well as animal structure and function. Three lectures and one three-hour laboratory weekly. Prerequisites: BIO-101 and BIO-102. WRITD, Fall semester.
-
1.00 Credits
A study of the life histories, behavior, morphology, physiology, taxonomy, and conservation of animals representing each of the vertebrate classes, with emphasis on Minnesota fauna. Three lectures and one three-hour laboratory weekly. Prerequisites: BIO-101 and BIO-102. Spring semester.
-
1.00 Credits
Study of special topics in biology. Research, individual, and/or group projects. Topics announced periodically. May be repeated for credit. Offered occasionally.
