-
3.00 Credits
A concise but comprehensive survey of various areas of biochemistry designed for non-biochemistry majors. The course follows the standard approach to the subject including a description of cells, their structure and constituent macromolecules (proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates and lipids), enzymology, bioenergetics, intermediary metabolism and gene regulation. Students cannot take both BCHM 370 and 470 or 471 for any combination of concentration, cognate or minor requirement. Three hours lecture. (F). 3.000 Credit hours 3.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Natural Sciences Department Course Attributes: Upper Division
-
2.00 Credits
A study of disease occurrence and spread in human populations. The primary concern is with groups of persons, rather than individuals. Emphasizes methods of study that would contribute to understanding disease etiology. Two hours lecture. BIOL 301 and 385 are recommended. (OC). 2.000 Credit hours 2.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Natural Sciences Department Course Attributes: Upper Division
-
4.00 Credits
The biology of microorganisms is considered through study of the properties of bacteria, fungi, algae, protozoa, and viruses. Microbial structures are discussed and correlated with their function. Aspects of cellular metabolism pertinent to microorganisms are emphasized. The interaction of microorganisms and their environment, animate and inanimate, is discussed with respect to the beneficial or harmful effects of the different microbial groups. Laboratory exercises introduce the student to basic, practical microbiological techniques and illustrate various principles of microbial life. Three hours lecture, four hours laboratory. (F,S). 4.000 Credit hours 3.000 Lecture hours 4.000 Lab hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Laboratory, Lecture Natural Sciences Department Course Attributes: Upper Division

-
1.00 - 4.00 Credits
Examination of problems and issues in selected areas of biology. Title in Schedule of Classes changes according to content. This course may be repeated for credit when specific topics differ. Permission of Instructor. (OC). 1.000 TO 4.000 Credit hours 1.000 TO 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Natural Sciences Department Course Attributes: Upper Division
-
4.00 Credits
Topic: Behavioral Biology. This course uses evolutionary theory to evaluate behavioral adaptations of organisms to their environment. Topics discussed will include game theory, kin selection, sexual selection, eusociality, orientation and navigation, and signal evolution. Laboratory sessions include: observations of animal behavior, required manipulations of live animals, and field trips. Computer exercises will be used to establish tools for modern behavioral analysis. One four-hour laboratory. 4.000 Credit hours 3.000 Lecture hours 4.000 Lab hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Laboratory, Lecture Natural Sciences Department Course Attributes: Upper Division
-
1.00 Credits
Topic: Biology of Spiders. An introduction to the biology of spiders and related arachnids. Field methods, rearing and collecting techniques, and identification of spiders and their webs will be taught. Laboratory work will include specimen preparation, use of dichotomous keys, and spider behavior. Lectures include spider anatomy, natural history, ecology, and evolution. Lectures, field trips, and laboratory activities will be incorporated into class sessions. 1.000 Credit hours 1.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Seminar Natural Sciences Department Course Attributes: Upper Division
-
4.00 Credits
The study of the diversity, structure and function of microorganisms as they interact with their environment. Emphasis will be placed on soil microbiolgy (fungi, bacteria, microalgae) and plant-microbe interactions (pathogens, symbioses). Ecological topics include decomposition, nutrient cycling, bioremediation and agroecosystems. Three hours lecture, four hours laboratory. (W). 4.000 Credit hours 3.000 Lecture hours 4.000 Lab hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Laboratory, Lecture Natural Sciences Department Course Attributes: Upper Division
