3.00 Credits
A general course designed to cover all areas relating to contemporary ecological problems. Topics include air, water, and soil pollution; radiation, limnology, climate, pesticides, wastes, and land conservation. This course is designed for non-science majors to help them meet their General Education science requirement, and as in introductory course in environmental science for ESC majors. BIO 137 cannot be applied to either a major or a minor in Biology. Fall, Spring. Credit 3.
-
4.00 Credits
The course focuses on the nature of science as a reliable method of acquiring knowledge about the natural world. Students will learn how to apply key scientific facts, concepts, laws and theories to distinguish science from non-science, bad science, and psedudoscience by analyzing a variety of claims and case studies. By employing an innovative, interdisciplinary approach to science education, this course is designed to increase science literacy and critical thinking skills for introductory-level students. This course is designed for non-science majors to help them meet their General Education science requirement and cannot be applied to either a major or a minor in Biology. Students must enroll concurrently in the corresponding lab for this course. Credit 4.
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to the study of cells, including scientific methods, biochemistry, metabolism, cell energetics, membranes, cellular evolution, DNA, protein synthesis, the cytoskeleton, cell division, and the cellular basis of inheritance, with emphasis on the development of problem solving skills. Two-hour laboratory. Fall, Spring. Prerequisite: Minimum grade of C in BIO 161/111. BIO 162/112, and CHM 138/118. Credit 4.
-
4.00 Credits
This course deals with structure and form of the human body. It includes studies of cells, tissues, and organ systems. Registration is primarily for students in prenursing or majors in kinesiology or health. Two-hour laboratory. Fall, Spring. Credit in this course cannot be applied to either a major or minor in Biology. Credit 4.
-
4.00 Credits
This course will help students identify and understand the function of several important human organ systems and how these systems maintain homeostasis. Topics and the mechanisms involving circulation, digestion, metabolism, muscle action and respiration will receive the most emphasis. This course is designed to emphasize a clinical knowledge of physiology and techniques required by students studying nursing, physical therapy, and related health fields. Two-hour laboratory. Fall and Spring. Prerequisite: Minimum grade of C in BIO 245. Credit in this course cannot be applied to either a major or minor in Biology. Credit 4.
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to microorganisms, their morphology, growth requirements, methods of culture, and the manner in which they affect health. Reactions of the body toward pathogenic organisms and the principles of immunity and chemotherapy are considered. Three-hour laboratory. Writing enhanced. Fall, Spring. Prerequisite: Minimum grade of C in BIO 245. Credit in this course cannot be applied to a major or minor in Biology. Credit 4.
-
3.00 Credits
An integrated conceptual study of the biochemical, molecular, and cellular processes that support life from a health and disease perspective. The molecular mechanisms that regulate cell function, the molecular signaling processes that form the basis of integrated function and the response to disease, and the mechanisms underlying inherited traits and genetic disease will be presented. Emphasis is placed on defining and characterizing normal cell function. This course may not be used by Biology majors or minors as credit toward graduation. Fall Spring. Prerequisites: Minimum grade of C in BIO 246 and CHM 135/115; Sophomore standing consent of the instructor. This course offering is subject to approval by the Texas State University Board of Regents and the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board . Credit 3.
-

The history and basic principles, philosophy and concepts of wildlife management as they relate to habitats, people, and the problems associated with their interactions. Three-hour laboratory and field work. Spring. Prerequisite: Minimum grade of C in BIO 161/111, 162/112, and 340. Credit 3.
-
4.00 Credits
A study of physical and biotic components of the environment, responses of organisms to their environment, community ecology, natural ecosystems, and human’s interaction with ecosystems. Field studies are an integral part of the laboratory. Three-hour laboratory and field work. Fall, Spring. Prerequisite: Minimum grade of C in BIO 161/111, 162/112. Credit 4.
-
4.00 Credits
This course deals with the study of structure and function of the human body. The structure of various organ systems are discussed and their function as organs and systems described.
