Lecture 3 hrs./Lab 3 hrs. This course provides an introduction to biochemistry. The organizing principles of cellular biochemistry are emphasized. Within this framework the structures, chemistry, and function of proteins, nucleic acids and amino acids, lipids and carbohydrates are presented. Prerequisites: BIO220 and CHM206 or concurrent enrollment. 4 credits.
-
3.00 Credits
Lecture 3 hrs./Lab 3 hrs. The metabolic pathways of carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids and their metabolic controls are presented. The central concepts of metabolism, the molecular basis of self-assembly, morphogenesis and cellular differentiation are stressed. Emphasis is also given to the important ultrastructural elements of the cell, neurotransmission, hormones, and nucleic acid structure and function. Prerequisite: BCH403. 4 credits.
-
3.00 Credits
Lecture 3 hrs. Basic principles of pharmacology are discussed, emphasizing both the normal and abnormal metabolism and physiological effects of drugs on the human body. Drug distribution and effects on the cardiovascular, nervous and renal systems are discussed. Prerequisites: BIO220 and CHM206 and junior/senior standing. 3 credits.

3.00 Credits
Lecture 3 hrs. Core Complement Course in Natural Sciences This course is a concept-oriented study of the interrelationships and variations in the physiological processes in health, disease, heredity and sexuality that can be applied to real-life situations. Students will be given opportunities to read and critically analyze many of the new and challenging developments in human biology, along with the moral and ethical choices, responsibilities and dilemmas that inevitably accompany them. 3 credits.
-
4.00 Credits
Lecture 3 hrs./Lab 3 hrs. Core Complement Course in Natural Sciences This two-semester course introduces the fundamental characteristics of life from the subcellular level through the organism and its environment. A comparative approach of plant and animal form and function emphasizes the diversity of life and habitat adaptations of various groups. Both classic and current biological developments of importance are incorporated into this course. Ethical concerns that result from the interrelatedness of biology and its applications to society are also addressed throughout this course. 4 credits each.
-
3.00 Credits
Lecture 3 hrs. Core Complement Course in Natural Sciences This course considers the interdependence and tension between humans and their environment. Discussions of contemporary, social, economic, and ecological concerns such as population growth, world hunger, pollution and resource utilization attempt to provide the student with the general background necessary for consideration of environmental ethics. The student will then critically evaluate and analyze the moral choices involved in such environmental dilemmas as: intergenerational equity, the needs of Third World and developing countries versus the needs of industrialized nations, individual needs and rights versus the good of both the local and global communities. 3 credits.
-
3.00 Credits
Lecture 3 hrs./Lab 3 hrs. Core Complement Course in Natural Sciences Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary dimension of biotechnology that merges the development of computer technology application with molecular biology. This introductory level course will combine the fundamental information required to understand the basic DNA-protein and molecular biology concepts with the computer applications that will enable the student to annotate, manipulate and interpret such databases. 3 credits.
-
3.00 Credits
Lecture 3 hrs. Core Complement Course in Natural Sciences This course presents a survey coverage of nutrition. Various nutrients and their relationship to human growth and development will be analyzed. Both the benefits and the safety problems associated with the rapid changes in the technology of food science will be assessed along with hunger as serious global, moral, and ethical concerns. Because of current interdependence of countries on food production, discussions will also include the multifaceted problems associated with the transport of foods across borders. Prerequisite: 100-level biology course. 3 credits.
-
4.00 Credits
Lecture 3 hrs./Lab 3 hrs. This is an introductory course with laboratory emphasizing the continuous interaction of living plants with the environment by examining the structures and functions of cells, tissues and organs of both terrestrial and marine plants and algae. One of the principal goals of the course is to develop an understanding and appreciation of the diverse organisms that we call plants, including their remarkable adaptations to the environment and their evolutionary and ecological relationships. Special emphasis will be placed on their ecology, particularly the role of plants in the biosphere, and on appropriate environmental issues. Additionally, this class examines through laboratories and hands-on work in our greenhouse how environmental factors affect plant growth and survival. 4 credits.

4.00 Credits
Lecture 3 hrs./Lab 2 hrs. Core Complement Course in Natural Sciences A systematic study of the gross and microscopic anatomy of the human body and the function of its parts are explored in this course. Laboratory work includes dissections, microscopic examinations of structures and experiments in physiology. This sequence is for those in nursing. It is not appropriate, in and of itself, for those considering professional schools or graduate school in anatomy, physiology or development. 4 credits each.
