(Prerequisites: BIO 251 and registration in BIO 489) (F/S)
-
2.00 Credits
A field course in the identification of the wild and cultivated woody plants growing in the Great Lakes region. Emphasis is on observation of plant characteristics permitting easy identification, in addition to discussion of the basic natural history, ecology, distribution, and human uses of each species. One three-hour laboratory per week. Crosslisted with ENVS 275 (F)
-
4.00 Credits
Study of morphology, physiology, and activities of micro-organisms. Three lectures and one two-hour lab per week. (Prerequisites: CHEM 111 or CHEM 121) (F/S/SS)
-
4.00 Credits
A global examination of the evolutionary and biological foundations underlying the multi-ethnic societies and diverse cultures observed in the modern world. Beginning with human evolution, this course will follow the sweep of human history through the origins of agriculture and the rise and fall of civilizations to the modern industrial condition. Focusing on biological and ecological processes and the human decisions that led to the present, this course explores the forces for organization and change that will govern and shape globally interconnected society in the future. Crosslisted with HIST 333 and ENVS 333. (Prerequisites: BIO 151 or consent of instructor) (F)
-
4.00 Credits
Explores advanced topics in botany, including surveys of the major plant groups, plant anatomy and physiology, an introduction to fungi and protists, and advanced topics in plant ecology. The instructional activities designed for this course enable students not only to hear about science, but also to engage in the scientific process. Laboratory investigations, small group discussions, and writing assignments play a central role in instruction. Lecture topics are tightly linked to laboratory experiences. (F/S)
-
4.00 Credits
Focuses on the study of animals living in our biosphere. It begins with a survey of the major animal phyla, followed by units on animal development, animal physiology and animal behavior. The instructional activities designed for this course enable students not only to hear about science, but also to engage in the scientific process. Laboratory investigations, small group discussions, and writing assignments play a central role in instruction. Lecture topics are tightly linked to laboratory experiences. (F/S)
-
3.00 Credits
Begins with the fundamentals of gene structure and function, then moves into classical genetics including both eukaryotes and prokaryotes, and finishes with the genetic analysis of populations. The primary course goal is to enhance and develop students' understanding and application of core genetic principles through problem-solving. (Prerequisites: BIO 151 F5/152 F5 and MATH 111, or consent of instructor.) (F/S)
-
4.00 Credits
Study of how life works at the cellular level. Topics include cell structure and function, the flow of energy in cells, the flow of genetic information in cells, regulation of cell function, and interactions of cells with their environment. Lecture and laboratory. (Prerequisite: BIO 151F5, 152F5 and one year of chemistry) (S)
-
4.00 Credits
