  • Biology 100: Ecology of Birds

    4.00 Credits
    Whitman College

    not offered 2008-09 This is a course on bird ecology and identification designed for the nonscience major. No prior science background is presumed. Through the use of afternoon field trips to local habitats, mounted specimens, computer images, slides, videos, and lectures, the course will introduce the student to bird images and habitats necessary to identify birds of the Pacific Northwest. This knowledge will in turn enable one to identify most bird families found worldwide. Three lectures and one three-hour lab, or field trip, per week. Offered in alternate years. Distribution area: science with lab.

  • Biology 111: Biological Principles

    4.00 Credits
    Whitman College

    Fall: L.Knight ; Spring: Wallace The general principles common to all life. Topics are: chemical basis of life and cellular metabolism, cell and tissue structure and function, mitosis and meiosis, information storage and retrieval, and life support mechanisms. Although designed as an introduction to the major, nonmajor students are welcome. Laboratories will consist of exercises illustrating the principles covered in lecture. Three lectures and one three-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisites: Chemistry 125 and 135; or 140. Corequisites: Chemistry 126 and 136 (unless Chemistry 140 previously completed).

  • Biology 112: The Biological World Dobson and Jackson

    4.00 Credits
    Whitman College

    A survey of the major groups of prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. The evolutionary history of living organisms is traced from the most simple prokaryotes to the highly complex plants and animals. Parallel trends and adaptations are discussed in addition to the unique features of each group. Laboratories consist of the examination of the structure and characteristics of the major groups. No prerequisites but prior completion of Biology 111 or the equivalent is recommended. Three lectures and one three-hour laboratory per week.

  • Biology 115: Regional Natural History Parker

    1.00 - 2.00 Credits
    Whitman College

    The natural history of environments in and around Walla Walla County. Designed for nonscience majors with special applicability for environmental studies majors. The course will emphasize applying basic ecological principles to the interpretation of the processes shaping biological communities. The core of the class will be weekly trips in which we develop and apply skills in observing and interpreting local environments from the Columbia River to the Blue Mountains. Through this process, students will become familiar with common plants, animals, and ecological communities of the region. Two one-hour lectures and one five-hour field trip per week. Field trips begin at 11a.m. and extend through the lunch hour and into the afternoon. Prerequisites: none. Distribution area: science with lab.

  • Biology 120: Human Anatomy and Physiology

    4.00 Credits
    Whitman College

    not offered 2008-09 Designed for the nonbiology major. Lectures will focus on the structures and functions of organ systems responsible for maintenance, reproduction and regulation of the human body, including their evolutionary origins and their major malfunctions such as caused by diseases. Laboratories will parallel the lectures to reinforce processes introduced in lecture, will include students as test subject (e.g., measuring temperature, respiration, electrocardiograms, etc.), and may include dissection of preserved animals. Three lecture or discussion hours and one three-hour laboratory per week. May not be taken for credit by those who have completed Biology 310.
