-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
A comprehensive study of organ systems used to maintain a constant internal environment. This course includes one laboratory session each week. Does not apply toward a biology major. Prerequisites: CHE 113 or 121.Spring semester.
-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
Conservation Biology applies ecological principles to practical issues in the conservation of nature and natural resources. Topics of special interest in conservation biology are species diversity, demography, disturbance, habitat fragmentation, genetics, reserve design, economics, politics, and the role of humans in disturbed ecosystems. Practical application of ecological theory will be stressed in both the lecture portions of the course, as well as in the lab where students will examine habitat fragmentation, resource utilization, species diversity,etc., in the expanding urban landscape of the greater Kansas City metropolitan area. The course includes one laboratory session each week. Prerequisite: BIO 133.
-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
A survey of photosynthetic organisms, including their morphology, physiology, ecology, systematics and economic importance.The course includes one laboratory session each week.Prerequisites:BIO 133, 134.Spring semester of even-numbered years.
-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
A study of the morphology, life histories, evolution, and ecological and economic significance of the major insect groups. This course includes one laboratory session each week.Prerequisites:BIO 133 and 134.Spring semester of odd-numbered years.
-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
Study of the structure, physiology, genetics, taxonomy and ecology of bacteria and viruses, including study of the immune response to those agents. Prerequisites: BIO 233;CHE 122 or currently enrolled in CHE 122. The course includes two laboratory sessions each week. Fall semester of even-numbered years.
-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
A study of the structure, function, and molecular biology of cells. Will include a discussion of how various cellular events relate to the functioning of the entire organism. This course will discuss membrane structure & function, membrane transport processes, cellular metabolism, and cellular signaling. Prerequisite: BIO 233. The course includes one laboratory session each week. Fall semester of odd-numbered years.
-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
This course will consider the underlying principles that determine how an animal behaves. Animal behavior will be considered from a variety of perspectives, including: genetic, physiological, evolutionary, and ecological. The course includes one lab period per week.Prerequisites: BIO 133, BIO 134.Spring semester of even-numbered years.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
A three-credit (minimum) laboratory, field or library research project required for the major. BIO 360 (0.5 -3 cr. hrs.), the first course in the Senior Thesis, is generally taken the fall of the junior year and will involve mainly library research.BIO 461 (0.5-3 cr.hrs.) is generally taken the last semester of the senior year and will require presenting, in written and oral form,the results of the research project.BIO 361 and 460 (1-3 cr. hrs. each) will involve lab, field or library research. Prerequisites: admission to the major and GPA minimums of 2.5 in biology and 2.5 overall.
-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
This course will examine the biology, ecology, and conservation of plants. Topics to be considered include, among others: the ecology of small populations, the genetics of conservation, and invasion by non-native plants. The course includes one laboratory session each week.Prerequisites:BIO 133, 134.Spring semester of odd-numbered years.
-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
A detailed course in biochemistry which includes a study of the occurrence, structure, function, and metabolism of biologically important molecules. There is an emphasis on molecular species such as carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids, proteins, and nucleic acids. The course includes work in the laboratory. The course may be credited toward a biology, biochemistry, or chemistry major, as the student elects, but it cannot count towards more than one major. Prerequisites: BIO 233, CHE 301, and/or currently enrolled in CHE 302, and admission to the major (Biology, Chemistry, or Biochemistry). Spring semester in even-numbered years. Also listed as CHE 450.
