-
4.00 Credits
A comparative survey of physiological adaptations including gas transport, metabolism, temperature and dehydration tolerance, and locomotion. Three hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory. Recommended Preparation: BIOL 215, 215L; can be taken concurrently. Enrollment Requirement: BIOL 210 and 211.
-
4.00 Credits
Discussion of major concepts in population, community, and evolutionary ecology including population growth and regulation, competition, predation, energetics, adaptations, and diversity. Weekend field trips may be required. Three hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory. Enrollment Requirement: BIOL 210, 211, 215, and 215L.
-
3.00 Credits
A consideration of evolution as the unifying concept in biology. Diversity and adaptation of form, function, and behavior of living organisms. Biological, geological, anthropological, and chemical evidence for and mechanisms of evolutionary change, including global pattern of distribution and specialization, mass extinctions, the evolution of race and sex, and the origin of species. Enrollment Requirement: BIOL 210 and 211.
-
3.00 Credits
An in-depth focus on the principles and practices of conservation and restoration ecology. Factors that affect the creation, destruction, and distribution of biological diversity are examined. Class discussions and assignments will focus on human destruction and degradation of habitats, invasive species introductions, accelerated species extinctions, pollution, global climate change, and species over-exploitation. The selection and maintenance of conservation areas will be explored, as well as the theory and methodology for restoring degraded habitats. May not be taken for credit by students who have received credit for BIOL 396J. Field trip(s) outside of class may be required. Enrollment Requirement: BIOL 210 and 211.
-
4.00 Credits
Presents a comprehensive selection of subjects from the field of microbiology. Students will study prokaryotic structure and function; growth and control of microorganisms; ecology, physiology, and diversity of bacteria; basic microbial and viral genetics, microorganisms of medical and economic significance; and biotechnology and its human applications and societal implications. The laboratory component will employ research-oriented group activities, in addition to individual projects and assignments, and will engage students in the latest techniques utilized in the field of microbiology. Three hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory. Enrollment Requirement: BIOL 210 and 211.
-
3.00 Credits
An in-depth consideration of the processes involved in the development of multicellular organisms. Subjects covered include gametogenesis, fertilization, embryogenesis, cellcell interactions, morphogenesis, differentiation, and developmental genetics. Recommended Preparation: BIOL 351 and 352. Enrollment Requirement: BIOL 210 and 211.
-
1.00 Credits
Provides hands-on experience in techniques currently in use in developmental biology research. Techniques included may very from year to year as changes in the field warrant. Model organisms are used such as sponges, slime mold, sea urchin, C. Elegans, chicks, zebrafish, arabadopsis, and the fruit fly. Some techniques currently covered include cell-cell adhesion, in vitro fertilization, northern blotting, western blotting, and antibody based histochemical staining. Three hours laboratory. Recommended Preparation: BIOL 351 and 352. Co/Prerequisite: BIOL 368. Enrollment Requirement: BIOL 210 and 211.
-
4.00 Credits
An examination of the physiological processes that contribute to plant growth and development, including the underlying molecular and genetic mechanisms. Areas covered include primary metabolism, water and nutrient relations, plant hormones, and plant biotechnology applications. Three hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory. Recommended Preparation: BIOL 351. Enrollment Requirement: BIOL 210 and 211.
-
3.00 Credits
Examines the functional responses and adaptations that accompany acute and chronic exercise, particularly involving cardiovascular, metabolic, respiratory, endocrine, and muscular systems. Subject matter will include energy for physical activity, systems for energy delivery and utilization; training and enhancement of energy capacities; skeletal muscle energy balance, and health related aspects of exercise. Discussion of the instrumentation and techniques fundamental to exercise physiology and biochemistry will also be covered. May not be taken for credit by students who have received credit for BIOL 396A and BIOL 397A. Enrollment Requirement: BIOL 210 and 211.
-
3.00 Credits
A survey of hormone types with emphasis on vertebrate examples, their biochemical composition, and physiological interrelationships. A considerable part of the course will consider the molecular mechanisms of action. Enrollment Requirement: BIOL 210, 211 and CHEM 201.
