3.00 Credits
Evolution of vertebrate structure with emphasis on functional and evolutionary interpretations. The objective of this course is for students to understand the evolutionary and historical processes that have produced the structural plan of vertebrates. Prerequisites: "C-" or better in (BIOL 1620 OR BIOL 2010).
-
1.00 Credits
Survey of vertebrate evolution and structure. It is recommended that BIOL 2325 is completed prior to taking this course. It is recommended that BIOL 3310 is completed prior to or concurrently with this course. Prerequisites: "C-" or better in (BIOL 1620 OR BIOL 2010).
-
3.00 Credits
Physiological mechanisms of animals with emphasis on vertebrates: Neural and hormonal control, musculoskeletal function, cardiopulmonary function, energetics, thermoregulation, and osmoregulation. Prerequisites: "C-" or better in (BIOL 1620 OR BIOL 2010).
-
3.00 Credits
Experimental analysis of physiological principles and mechanisms in animals. Design experiments, collect and interpret data gathered using both classical and contemporary physiological techniques. Entire class meets each week for one hour of lecture and discussion. Each section will then meet for four hours of laboratory on one afternoon per week. It is recommended that BIOL 2420 or BIOL 3320 be completed prior to taking this course. Prerequisites: 'C-' or better in BIOL 1210 OR BIOL 1610 OR AP Biology score of 4+ OR IB Biology score of 5+.
-
3.00 Credits
This course will provide a basic understanding of issues such as: 1) how information is acquired by sensory systems, coded and processed by the central nervous system, 2) how sensory information is translated to motor commands, 3) motor pattern generation, 4) role of experience in shaping organization of brain. Prerequisites: "C-" or better in BIOL 1620 OR BIOL 2010 OR BIOL 2420.
-
3.00 Credits
A general introduction to plant biology. Topics include plant diversity, plant structure, transport, plant morphogenesis and development, plant genetics, plant cell structure, plant reproduction, plant hormones, and photosynthesis. Topics of general interest will be covered, including GMOs (genetically modified organisms), genetically engineered foods, the biology and chemistry of food and cooking, and biofuels. Prerequisites: 'C-' or better in BIOL 1210 OR BIOL 1610 OR BIOL 1620 OR AP Biology score of 4+
-
3.00 Credits
This course is designed as a general introduction to plant physiology, and covers different levels of structure and function, from the molecular to the whole-plant level. Topics include the structures and function of critical enzymes, growth, development, and adaptation to changing environmental conditions. The emphasis in this course is on seeing biological principles in a context that will enable the student to apply these concepts in a new situations. It is recommended that BIOL 3340, Introductory Plant Biology, is completed prior to taking this course. Prerequisites: 'C-' or better in (BIOL 1620 OR BIOL 2010) AND (BIOL 2020 OR BIOL 2021)
-
3.00 Credits
Vertebrate body plan and its morphogenesis from conception to birth. Comparative approach with emphasis on mammals. Teratology considered only when it contributes to understanding of development. Students must have completed a course in anatomy prior to enrollment. Prerequisites: "C-" or better in BIOL 2325.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is an introduction to the staggering diversity of form and function in the prokaryotic world. Topics will include aerobic and anaerobic respiration, highlighting oxygenic and anoxygenic photosynthesis; carbon and nitrogen fixation, stressing global nutrient cycles; environmental and metabolic control of gene expression, especially two-component signal transduction; and enzyme co-factor biosynthesis and function, emphasizing the vitamins. Major topics will be illustrated in a biological context using unusual and beguiling prokaryotic organisms. It is recommended that BIOL 3510 or CHEM 3510 is completed prior to taking this course. Prerequisites: "C-" or better in (BIOL 2020 OR BIOL 2021).
-
3.00 Credits
This course explores the biology that underlies the development and maintenance of a functional and healthy body. Specifically we will view this from a metabolic, physiological and evolutionary perspective. It is recommended that BIOL 2020 or 2021 be completed prior to taking this course. Prerequisites: "C-" or better in (BIOL 2020 OR BIOL 2021 OR BIOL 2420).
