  • Biology 307: Cell Biology

    4.00 Credits
    Rhodes College

    Fall. Credits: 4. An advanced treatment of the organization and functions of eukaryotic cells. Primary emphasis will be placed on the role of biological membranes in such cellular activities as nutrition, secretion, signal transduction, and energy transformations. Emphasis will also be placed on the role of proteins in motility and the regulation of cell metabolism. By itself, this course satisfies an upper level requirement without laboratory for the Biology major; when combined with BCMB 310, it satisfies a requirement for an upper level course with laboratory (see the Biochemistry and Molecular Biology program under Interdisciplinary Study). Prerequisites: Biology 130, 131.

  • Biology 315 ,315l: ecology

    1.00 - 4.00 Credits
    Rhodes College

    Fall. Credits: 4, 1. A broad study of concepts in the science of ecology. This course stresses the biotic and abiotic interactions which determine the distribution and abundance of organisms. The laboratory component consists of both on-campus laboratory work and intensive aquatic field experiences including at least one overnight outing. Students with organismal and environmental interests desiring a field component are encouraged to participate. Day-long weekend fieldtrips at the beginning of the course are required. Prerequisites: Biology 130, 131 and 140, 141.

  • Biology 320 ,320l: Conservation Biology

    1.00 - 4.00 Credits
    Rhodes College

    Spring. Credits: 4, 1. An interdisciplinary examination of the science of conservation of biological diversity at gene, population, species, and ecosystem levels. Learning the theories and practice of conservation biology and critically evaluating strategies adopted to prevent loss of biodiversity are the main objectives of this course. Laboratories and field work are designed to make the students familiar with research methods and tools used by conservation biologists. (Course offered in alternate years; scheduled for 2008-2009.) Prerequisites: One course in Biology or permission of instructor.

  • Biology 325 ,325l: Molecular Biology

    1.00 - 4.00 Credits
    Rhodes College

    Spring. Credits: 4, 1. A study of the structure and function of genes at the molecular level. Topics include the synthesis of nucleic acids and proteins and the mechanisms of gene expression and control in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. An emphasis will be placed on the design, analysis, and interpretation of classic and contemporary experiments. The laboratory component will teach the student how to conduct and interpret experiments in molecular biology including isolation of DNA, gel electrophoresis, recombinant DNA cloning, and DNA sequencing within the context of specific projects. Prerequisites: Biology 130, 131; Chemistry 111, 111L.

  • Biology 330: virology/Immunology

    4.00 Credits
    Rhodes College

    Fall. Credits: 4. Approximately one quarter of the course is devoted to Virology, including the structural basis for classification of viruses and both viral and host aspects of virus infection and replication. The remainder of the course provides an overview of the vertebrate immune system, focusing mainly on specific mechanisms of cellular and humoral immunity. (Course offered in alternate years; scheduled for 2008-2009.) Prerequisites: Biology 130, 131 and 140, 141.

  • Biology 340 ,340l: animal Physiology

    4.00 Credits
    Rhodes College

    Fall. Credits: 4, 1. A study of the organs and organ systems of animals using both physical and chemical relationships to describe their functional activities and roles in controlling the animal's internal environment. Although primary emphasis will be placed on the vertebrates, the diversity of physiological adaptations of invertebrates will also be examined. Laboratory investigations will include studies of the nervous system responses to external stimuli, functional diversity of vertebrate muscles, regulation of vertebrate cardiac activity, blood pressure and respiration, and regulation of vertebrate salt and water balance. Laboratory experiments will involve the careful and humane use of live vertebrates as research models. Laboratories are scheduled for 4 hours each week. This course satisfies an upper level course with laboratory requirement for the major. Prerequisites: Biology 130, 131 and 140, 141.
