-
3.00 Credits
3 credit hours The chemistry of amino acids, proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids is examined. Also included is a survey of cellular metabolic pathways and methods of energy production. Emphasis is placed on those pathways common to all life. Three lecture hours. Prereq: Biol 111, Biol 205, Biol 206, and Chem 226. (Fall)
-
3.00 Credits
3 credit hours This course will explore biological evolutionary and ecological processes; and the consequences of these processes on population genetics, population dynamics and population growth, and ecosystem diversity. Other topics, including genetic drift, natural selection, responses to mutation, evolutionary rates, species interactions, speciation and extinction, community ecology, and niche selection, will be presented to provide a broader view of evolutionary processes and the changes in biotic and abiotic environmental conditions that lead to changes in biodiversity. Relevant laboratory sessions may occasionally replace classroom lecture and discussion sessions. This is the capstone course for the Biology Major. Prereq: Biol 205, 206, 305, and senior standing in Biology or Biological Science Education 8-12; recommended Math 250. (Fall and Spring)
-
2.00 Credits
1-2 credit hours The research will consist of a field, laboratory, or library research project on a topic of mutual interest to the student and instructor. A written report and an oral presentation of the results and conclusions will be required. The research may be continued a second semester for an additional 2 credits. Prereq: Permission of and prior arrangement with instructor. (As needed)
-

1.00 Credits
1 credit hour This course serves as both an assessment of the ALC Biology program and as a subject matter review for graduating ALC Biology majors. The fundamental aspects of the five required biology major courses (Biol 111, 205, 206, 305, and 413) are reviewed. It is designed to measure the basic knowledge and understanding achieved by ALC students in Biology. The test results will enable the Science/Math Division to better assess and refine its curriculum, and to gauge the progress of students in comparison to similar programs at schools throughout the country. Student will be required to complete a series of review examinations and culminate with administration of the current Educational Testing Service Major Field Test in Biology. The subject matter is organized into four major areas: cell biology; molecular biology and genetics; organismal biology; and population biology, evolution, and ecology. Some of the questions within each of the major areas are designed to test examinees analytical skills. A course fee of $15.00 is charged. This course meets once each week. (Fall/Spring, as needed)
-
