  • 4.00 Credits

    This course emphasizes the relationships among DNA synthesis, RNA synthesis and protein synthesis. Information transfer in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells will be discussed. (Four one-hour lectures per week.) Prerequisites: BIO 1401 and CHE 3126 and CHE 3326.
  • 4.00 Credits

    This course is designed to introduce the student to fundamental structures of animal tissues. The laboratory work involves methods and techniques for preparation of materials for microscopic study. (2 one-hour lectures and 2 two-hour laboratory periods per week.) Prerequisites: BIO 1401 and CHE 2112 and CHE 2312.
  • 4.00 Credits

    This is a general survey of biochemistry. It includes the study of four basic classes of biomolecules. Their structural and functional relationships will be emphasized. The discussion of the structure and function of biomolecules involved in the chemical and molecular reactions that sustain life, the energetic principles that govern the synthesis and degradation of these biomolecules and the integration and regulation of metabolic pathways will be covered. (2 one-hour lectures and 2 two-hour laboratory periods per week.) Prerequisites: BIO 1401, CHE 3126 and CHE 3326. [Cross-listed with CHE 3446]
  • 4.00 Credits

    This course is a comprehensive look at the growing and extraction of bacteria and fungi for use in industrial applications through the focused use of enzymes. The principles of genetics and physiology are used in connection with microbial agents so as to create possibilities for extraordinary results in hard surface cleaning, oil spills, carpet cleaning, wastewater treatment, odor control, and other similar applications without the production of related hazardous wastes through the harnessing and use of enzymes. Lectures will focus on the manner in which enzymes can be employed to carry out specific tasks that relate to industrial uses.
  • 4.00 Credits

    This course focuses on the manner in which genes function to control cellular activities. The perspective of this course is that cells are the basic unit of all living matter, and DNA is the information determining what traits the cell will have. Students will be taught to focus on how favorable traits may be promoted to enhance the potential of a living organism. Such factors permit one to conceptualize how the modification of a factor might assist a substance grow larger, reject a certain pest, or suppress a weakness that leads to a disease in an organism.
  • 4.00 Credits

    This course reviews the basic principles of mammalian physiology, including the function and regulation of complex organ systems. Emphasis will be placed on normal bodily functions and the characteristic interactions of drugs in terms of their absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion. The course will also consider deviations from normal (pathophysiology), where such discussions serve to clarify the basic principles. This will provide a link between the basic sciences and the clinical approach to the study of disease. (3 one-hour lectures and 1 two-hour laboratory period per week). Prerequisite: BIO 2410 and BIO 3411.
  • 6.00 Credits

    Under the supervision of the instructor, the student conducts research in an area of microbiology or a basic medical science that is supportive of microbiology. Student independence is sought in both the planning and conduct of the research project. Recommended for life science majors. (Six weeks full-time during the summer session or 12 hours per week during an academic-year semester.) Prerequisites: 12 hrs. in biology and permission of the instructor.
  • 2.00 Credits

    This course entails two closely related subjects. The first involves a survey of scientific literary trends in modern research and investigation. A written report and an oral presentation are required by the student. The second involves ethics in science using a case study approach. It is important as a scientist that research be conducted with the highest degree of integrity and the student is responsible for learning these best practices. Recommended for biology majors. (2 one-hour periods per week).
  • 2.00 Credits

    This course is designed for independent experimental work by the individual student with guidance by a member of the life sciences faculty. (2 two-hour periods per week.) Prerequisite: 12 semester hours in biology.
  • 3.00 Credits

    This course emphasizes the study of the classification and identification of flowering plants and acquaints students with local flora. Emphasis is placed on a comparative study of orders and families. (2 one-hour lectures and 1 two-hour laboratory period per week.) Prerequisite: BIO 2416.
