4.00 Credits
4 credit hours This course will explore the earth, moon, sun, solar system, Milky Way, and universe. It will cover the history of astronomy; the relationship between the earth and its astronomical neighbors; and theories of the origin of the earth, moon, planets, stars, galaxies and universe. Lab activities will include observations of the sun and moon, the celestial sphere, star gazing, atomic spectra and telescope setup. Three lecture hours and two lab hours per week. Prereq: Chem 116 and Phys 212, or permission of instructor. (Fall and Spring)
-
4.00 Credits
4 credit hours This course fulfills the life science general studies requirement for majors other than Biology, Biological Science Education 8- 12, and Physical Education P-12 majors. This course for nonmajors involves an interdisciplinary approach to the study of the environment. The course provides the scientific basis for understanding how environmental systems work. The laboratory part of this course provides a combination of laboratory experiences and field trips to illustrate the principles covered in lecture. Field trips include visits to water treatment and sewage treatment plants, and other environmentally important sites. Three lecture hours and two hours laboratory. (Fall and Spring)
-
4.00 Credits
4 credit hours A study of plants as organisms. Topics of study include a survey of the plant kingdom, representative life cycles, and taxonomy; energy transformations and photosynthesis; structure and function with emphasis on the vascular plants; economic and ecologic important of plants. Three lecture hours and two-and-ahalf ( 21/ 2) laboratory hours. Prereq: Biol. 111 or permission of instructor. (Spring)
-
4.00 Credits
4 credit hours A study of animals as organisms. Topics will include a brief survey of the animal kingdom with representative life cycles and classification; the concept of species; a systematic approach to the study of structure and function with emphasis on the invertebrates. Three lecture hours and two laboratory hours. Prereq: Biol. 111 or permission of the instructor. (Fall)
-
4.00 Credits
4-4 credit hours A study of normal structure and function of the human body as a basis for understanding of the disease process. The course includes an integrated study of the major body systems. The course is designed to meet the needs of students in pre-nursing, physical therapy, art, and physical education as well as an option for biology majors. Three lecture hours and two labora108 tory hours. Prereq: Biol 111 or permission of instructor; Biol 212 has a prerequisite of successful completion of Biol 211 with a grade of òCó or bett.e (rFall-211; Spring-212)
-
4.00 Credits
4 credit hours An introduction to the basic principles of heredity and variation in plants and animals, including classical, molecular, biochemical, and population genetics. The physical and chemical bases for heredity are stressed and applications of genetics to problems of medicine, agriculture, and evolution are examined. Three lecture hours and two laboratory hours. Prereq: Biol. 205, 206, or permission of instructor. Math 250 recommended. (Fall)
-
4.00 Credits
4 credit hours A study of the morphology, physiology, taxonomy, and ecology of microbes, fungi, and viruses, but with emphasis on the bacteria. Growth curves, principles and methods in immunology, and the role of microbes in medicine, industry, and agriculture will be considered. Laboratory methods of cultivation, examination, and identification of microbes, sterile technique, and media preparation will be included. Three lecture hours and two laboratory periods. Prereq: Biol 205 or Biol 206. Chem 225 is recommended. (Spring)
-
4.00 Credits
4 credit hours The course is designed to provide for a knowledge and appreciation of the flora and fauna of the Southern Appalachian Highlands. The course is basically a field course comprised of field trips, field methods, and habitat and adaptation studies. Basic ecological principles will be studied and stressed. The class meets for two three-hour periods. Prereq: Biol. 111. (Fall odd years)
-
4.00 Credits
4 credit hours Cell/Molecular biology covers general biology of the cell and the macromolecules Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), Ribonucleic acid (RNA) and the Proteins. The course deals with the cell as the basic functional unit of life. Special emphasis is placed on all types of cells and the cell organelles and their structure, function, and pathology, including the clinical and molecular nature of benign and malignant neoplasms. Prereq: Junior standing with Biol 111 and Chem 115). (Fall even years)
-
4.00 Credits
4 credit hours An analysis of the structural and functional relationship of the vertebrate body at the cellular, tissue, organ, and system level, and their relationship to the maintenance, regulation, and perpetuation of the organism. Mammalian physiology will be emphasized. Three lecture hours and two laboratory hours. Prereq: Biol. 206, 305, and Chem 226. (Fall odd years)
