4.00 Credits
This course will provide an introduction to all phyla of invertebrates, emphasizing the unifying characteristics within each group. It will examine how form relates to function, and differences in structure and physiology between phyla. Systematics and phylogenetic relationships will be discussed. Prerequisite: BIOL 121 or BIOL 122. Semester Offered: Fall of even-numbered years.
-
4.00 Credits
This course covers the taxa of animals with backbones: fishes, amphibians, reptiles (including birds) and mammals. It includes relationships, structure, niches and behaviors. Prerequisite: BIOL 122. Semester Offered: Fall of odd-numbered years.
-
4.00 Credits
This course is an introductory survey of microorganisms. It is not limited to the study of pathogenic bacteria, but will also cover protistans and fungi. Within this context principles of isolation, taxonomy, ecology and physiology will be covered. Prerequisite: BIOL 121. Semester offered: Fall and Spring.
-
4.00 Credits
Topics covered include the study of basic ecological principles, human population growth and its impact on the global environment, including air, water and land pollution; global climate change; renewable and non-renewable energy sources; and biodiversity. Prerequisite: ACCUPLACER score of 70+ (English); 58+ (reading). Semester offered: Fall, Spring.
-
4.00 Credits
Integrates classical botanical knowledge and identification techniques with historical and current native uses of plants for food, healing, fiber, housing, arts, and sacred activities. Although a broad view will be taken, this interdisciplinary course will emphasize the ethnobotany of the Four Corners region. The class may include field trips. Prerequisites: ENGL 099; RDNG 095; Semester offered: Fall.
-
4.00 Credits
A study of the dynamics of biological systems. Covers population genetics, population ecology (interactions such as mutualism, competition and predation), and evolutionary theory. Prerequisite: BIOL 122. Semester offered: Spring.
-
4.00 Credits
A study of classification and taxonomy of vascular plants. Topics covered in lecture and laboratory deal with taxonomic principles and philosophy, nomenclature, terminology, use of keys, and history of classification systems. The use of cytogenetics, anatomy, ecology, palynology, chemistry, and the computer in modern systematics is discussed. Students will learn to recognize many of the major plant families and will be taught the methods of botanical fieldwork. A plant collection will be made. Field trips are required, including a three-day excursion to southeastern Utah. Semester offered: On Demand.
-
4.00 Credits
Physical and chemical operation of the organs and systems of the human body, including endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, immune, respiratory, digestive, urinary and reproductive. Basic concepts of metabolism, energy, fluid and electrolyte balance, heredity and human development. Prerequisite(s): Take BIOL 252. Semester Offered: Fall and Spring.
-
4.00 Credits
This course will provide an introduction to modern genetic principles, including mechanisms of inheritance (Mendelian rules and non- Mendelian inheritance), molecular genetics, population genetics, and modern genetic laboratory techniques. Prerequisite: Take BIOL 121. Semester offered: Fall.
-
4.00 Credits
The fine structure of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, their chemical composition and organization, cell metabolism, and bioenergetics. A description of major research tools used by cell biologists. Prerequisites: BIOL 121, CHEM 111. Semester Offered: Spring of oddnumbered years.
