4.00 Credits
4 credits BI 211 is the first course in a sequence and provides a foundation and a pre-requisite for the subsequent courses BI 212 and in BOTH Botany 213 and Zoology 213 at LCC. This sequence is designed for Science majors planning to transfer to a four-year institution. There is no Math, Chemistry or Writing requirement currently in place; however, college level Writing and Math abilities will be an advantage to success in this course. The emphasis will be on interactions between cell structures and their chemical composition to understand biological processes and the evolution of life. Topics include study of natural selection and origin of cells, cell structures, biochemical pathways, energy flow and molecular genetics. The process of scientific investigation is experienced through participating in laboratory activities and reading and analyzing current scientific articles. Note: BI 211 was formerly named BI 201 Cellular Foundations. A student who has taken this class under previous names may not take it again under this new name and receive duplicate credit.

4.00 Credits
4 credits Prerequisites: Grade of C- or better in BI 201 or BI 211 or grade of Aor better in BI 101F or BI 112 or instructor consent. Background knowledge of cell biology and biochemistry, specifically familiarity with metabolic pathways (especially aerobic cellular metabolism & photosynthesis), cell division and genetics is required. There is no Math, Chemistry or Writing requirement currently in place however college level writing and math abilities will be an advantage to success in this course. BI 212 is designed for biology majors as an introduction to the study of organism form and function. The emphasis will be on comparisons of 2 major kingdoms of organisms: Plants & Animals. Study of tissue and organ evolution, diversity, structure, and physiology of representative groups of organisms in each major kingdom will be the foundation for comparing the anatomy and physiology. The course will include considerable lab work, including microscopic study of cells, tissues and organs and may include some field trips. This course replaces both BOT 202 and Z 202 in the Biology majors' sequence.

1.00 Credits
4 credits Prerequisite: Grade of 'C-' or better in BI 112 and CH 112. BI 231 is the first course in a sequence and provides a foundation for the subsequent courses. The BI 231, 232 and 233 courses provide basic information needed by pre-health professionals and are both required and accepted by many of Lane's Family and Health Careers programs. These credits are generally transferable to other academic institutions. Each class includes a study of anatomical models, histological slides, selected dissections and appropriate multimedia technologies. This first course includes an introduction to human body organization, tissues and the integumentary, skeletal, articular and muscular body systems. The fundamentals of the nervous system and a study of the autonomic nervous system are also included.
-
2.00 Credits
4 credits Prerequisite: Grade of 'C-' or better in BI 231 The second course in the sequence includes anatomy and physiology of central and peripheral nervous systems, special senses, hematology, cardiovascular, lymphatic and immune systems. Common laboratory/clinical tests associated with these topics are presented. See sequence description under BI 231.
-
3.00 Credits
4 credits Prerequisite: Grade of 'C-' or better in BI 232 The third course in the sequence includes anatomy and physiology of the respiratory, digestive, urinary, endocrine, and reproductive systems. Also included are concepts of genetics, inheritance patterns and disorders. Common laboratory/clinical tests associated with the topics above are presented. See sequence description under BI 231.
-
4.00 Credits
4 credits Prerequisite: Grade of 'C-' or better in BI 233 or instructor consent A medically oriented survey of bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms, body defenses, immunology, sterilization and disinfection, and a discussion of representative infectious diseases. Laboratory manipulations and observations of microbes enhance student learning.
-
1.00 - 12.00 Credits
1-12 credits This course provides the student with biology-related field experience. The student will have the opportunity to integrate theory and practice gained in the classroom with practical experience in the professional world. In this course a student may develop skills, explore career options and network with professionals and employers while earning credit toward a degree.
-
3.00 Credits
3 credits Prerequisite: BI 211, BI 212, and BOT 213 or Z 213, equivalent courses or instructor consent. Advanced Seminar in Biology provides a small group setting for Biology majors to investigate one or more complex problems in biology through in-depth reading and research, group discussion, fieldwork, reflection, and presentations. The course provides structured preparation for advanced college research in the sciences.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
1-3 credits A variable credit course based on independent study contracted between an instructor and a student.

4.00 Credits
4 credits Prerequisite: Grade of 'C-' or better in BI 211 and BI 212 or BI 201 and BOT 202 or Z 202 or instructor consent This course is one way to complete the Life Science Majors sequence. There is no Math, Chemistry or Writing requirement currently in place; however, college level writing and math abilities will be an advantage to success in this course. Concepts of phylogeny, evolution and ecology will be explored using flowering plant (angiosperm) examples. We study major evolutionary trends in flowering plants and explore ecological mechanisms and selective pressures that underlay those trends. At least half the instruction takes place in the field examining plant associations in a variety of local ecosystems. We identify plants using field characteristics to become proficient in the use of botanical keys. These skills and concepts inform our phylogenetic studies. NOTE: BOT 213 was formerly named BOT 203 General Botany. A student who has taken this class under the previous name may not take it again under this new name and receive duplicate credit.
