-
4.00 Credits
This is an introductory course for majors and non-majors. The student will be introduced to the biology of the cell, how organisms acquire and expend energy, and the basic structure and function of plants and animals. Lab fee.
-
4.00 Credits
This is an introductory course primarily designed for freshman nursing students. It is a foundational course covering the basic structure and function of the human body at various levels including the cell, the tissue, the organ, and the organ system. A minimal amount of chemistry will be covered at the beginning of the course to enhance the student's understanding of the chemical processes underlying cellular function. The focus of this course will be normal structure and function; however, some disease states may also be discussed. Laboratory studies using the fetal pig, cadavers, computer simulations and various live animals may be used to supplement the course material. Lab fee.
-
4.00 Credits
This course is a continuation of Anatomy and Physiology I. The basic chemistry, cell physiology and histology discussed in the first semester will be applied to the organs and tissues involved in body control, defense, gas exchange, osmolarity, pH and reproduction. As in the first semester, the maintenance of homeostasis will be the primary objective. The subject matter will concentrate on normal structure and function, however some disease states may also be discussed. Laboratory studies using the fetal pig, computer simulations and various live animals may be used to supplement the course material. Lab fee. Prerequisite: BL 111.
-
3.00 Credits
This is an introductory course that deals with the fundamentals of microbiology including morphology, physiology, and ecology of viruses, bacteria, and other major microbial groups. Prerequisite: CH 107 or CH 114 and one semester of university level biology.
-
1.00 Credits
This introductory microbiology laboratory course introduces the student to the fundamentals of microbiology including the morphology, physiology, and ecology of viruses, bacteria, and other major groups of microorganisms, using basic laboratory techniques. Lab fee. Prerequisite: Enrolled concurrently with BL 202 or have had BL 202 or equivalent within last three years.
-
4.00 Credits
Plant Biology deals with the study of the structure, morphology, physiology and ecology of seed-bearing plants. Emphasis will be on the interdependence of all living things and the central role of green plants in this scenario. In the laboratory, students will learn and apply methods of scientific observation, develop principles of experimental design and analysis as they apply to plants, and become acquainted with different approaches to taxonomic principles. This course can be used to fulfill a core requirement in the natural sciences. Lab fee. Prerequisite: Biology within the last five years or department approval.
-
3.00 Credits
This is a lecture and discussion course for non-science majors that will include a study of the principles of environmental science from the perspective of both biological and physical sciences emphasizing the interrelationships among all organisms and their natural environments, natural resource management, mineral cycles, various energy sources, toxic and hazardous substances, and waste treatment strategies. Environmental issues and some of the ethical implications of human interaction with the environment also will be discussed. This course can be used to fulfill a core requirement in the natural sciences and is cross-listed with CH 210.
-
3.00 Credits
This is an introductory science course for the non-major that will introduce students to the theory of evolution, the historical foundations of evolutionary biology, the evidence that supports evolution, the role of natural selection and adaptation in the evolutionary process, and the history of life on earth. This course can be used to fulfill a core requirement in the natural sciences.
-
4.00 Credits
This course will explore the structural and molecular organization of the cell as the basis of life processes. Lab fee. Prerequisite: BL 106, CH 201.
-
4.00 Credits
General Physiology is an integrated study of the functions of organs and organ systems and their control mechanisms in vertebrate organisms. Lab fee. Prerequisite: BL 106, CH 201 or equivalent.
