-
4.00 Credits
A study of the unity of life, including molecular and cellular processes; theories and evidence of evolution, and the concepts of biology and its relevance to human beings. May be used for biology majors and minors. Credit will not be given for both BIO 147 and BIO 143.
-
4.00 Credits
A continuation of the topics of BIO 143 with emphasis on the diversity of life, how plants and animals work, and ecology.
-
4.00 Credits
An introductory course examining the organization of the human body and mechanism for maintaining homeostasis. Topics include cell structure and function; basic metabolism; basic histology; and the anatomy and physiology of the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems. Emphasis is placed upon integration of systems as they relate to normal health. Credit will not be given for both BIO 147 and BIO 143.
-
4.00 Credits
Second course in a two-semester sequence in which the organization of the human body and mechanisms for maintaining homeostasis are examined. Topics include the anatomy and physiology of the special senses and the endocrine, cardiovascular, immune, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems.
-
3.00 Credits
Opportunities in specialty fields are designed to familiarize the student with the challenges, opportunities and demands inherent in specific career fields. Maximum credit allowable, three semester hours.
-
3.00 Credits
Individualized study courses under the general supervision of a biology faculty member. The topic chosen by the student and approved by the faculty member and department chairman must be sufficiently delimited to permit oral and written reports. In this type of study, the student is expected to consult the faculty member periodically and report on progress being made. Directed study is open to students of all classifications. The student must have demonstrated a capacity to do individual work and have a minimum 2.0 cumulative grade average.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of human nutrition at both the cellular and systemic levels. Each nutrient will be examined: its requirement, source, digestion, function, and metabolism. Application to normal health and eating regimes will be studied as well as several specific topics including vegetarianism, weight control, eating disorders, physical fitness, chronic disease prevention, and the evaluation of nutritional information. Does not apply toward a major in biology.
-
4.00 Credits
A study of the biology of aquatic and terrestrial plants; emphasizing cytology, morphology, function, growth and reproduction. Course also includes taxonomy and an examination of specific plants with medicinal, pharmacological, food and agricultural importance. Prerequisite: eight hours of biology.
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction to microorganisms, with emphasis on the bacteria, including the study of morphology and metabolism, culturing and staining techniques. Prerequisite: eight hours of biology, and four hours of chemistry (may be taken concurrently).
-
4.00 Credits
A study of the principles and molecular mechanisms of genetic transmission in higher organisms with emphasis on humans; the identification and functioning of hereditary material. Prerequisite: 12 hours of biology and MATH 133.
