-
3.00 Credits
A two-semester study of the structure and function of the human body with emphasis upon the interdependencies at the microscopic and cellular levels. Laboratory work includes dissection experiments related to physiological processes, microscopic observation of cell types, biochemical tests, and some diagnostic laboratory procedures. Liberal Arts Core/University Requirements Designation: NS. ( 4) (4)
-
3.00 Credits
Introduces the student to the aging process at the cellular and subcellular levels. Surveys processes from single-cell organisms to the human organism. Prerequisite: one semester of Biology. ( 3)
-
3.00 Credits
Focuses on the study of human hormones, their chemical classification, receptors, and intracellular mechanisms. Interactions of hormone actions will be stressed as the course progresses. Consequences of hypo- and hyper-hormone conditions will be discussed. Prerequisites: BIO 152 and CHM 152. ( 3)
-
3.00 Credits
An in-depth survey of the Plant Kingdom, including nonvascular as well as vascular plants. Some members of the Kingdoms Fungi and Protista will also be covered. Topics covered will include: photosynthesis, life cycles, growth and propagation, plant and hormone effects, classification and identification, and herbarium techniques. Prerequisite: BIO 151 or equivalent. ( 4)
-
3.00 Credits
This course is for majors, and is a study of the basic principles of inheritance from the classical studies of Mendel to current developments in molecular genetics. Students study the applications of genetic technologies to microorganisms, plants, and animals. The potential benefits of engineering and related ethical issues are discussed. Prerequisite: BIO 260. ( 4)
-
3.00 Credits
The study of the biochemistry, physiology, nutrition, immunology, life cycles, epidemiology, control, and chemotherapy of parasitic protozoans, helminths, and arthropod vectors. Emphasis is on parasites of man. Prerequisites: BIO 152 and CHM 152. ( 4)
-
3.00 Credits
A discipline-specific approach to writing for Biology majors, this course will acquaint the student with the range of writing styles in science. Students will apply their knowledge in the sciences to both the critique and writing of research abstracts, literature summaries, and pieces to be read by the nonscientific audience. Prerequisite: EN 102. ( 3)
-
3.00 Credits
Explores the way living organisms adjust to the adversities of their environment. Understanding how organisms obtain information about the environment through their senses. Students will learn to use the principles of physiology to predict, as well as model, the behavior of animals. Students will be able to discuss the interplay of many physiological variables on the overall function of the body. Prerequisite: BIO 152 or equivalent. ( 3)
-
3.00 Credits
The marine biology and tropical ecology of Belize are experienced firsthand in this study abroad course. Students will have unique opportunities to study and experience tropical jungles, coral reefs, savannas, limestone caves, mangroves, lagoons, and estuaries. Students will also have an opportunity to explore the habitats of manatees, spider monkeys, hawksbill sea turtles, and saltwater crocodiles. They will experience all of this while immersed in a different culture. ( 6)
-
3.00 Credits
Examination of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell structure and function. Emphasis on metabolism, regulation of cellular events, and basic genetic processes. The course provides an introduction to control of gene expression. Prerequisites: BIO 262 and CHM 152. ( 3)
