Responses and adaptations of the human body to exercise with emphasis on metabolism, skeletal muscles and the cardiovascular-respiratory system. Topics include aerobic performance, anaerobic capacity and the relationships between exercise and nutrition, weight control, strength and endurance training, sex and age differences, health states, drugs and performance aids. (Edmund Y. Tong)

-
3.00 Credits
The organization, functions and behaviors of eukaryotic cells. Cell architecture and cell motility will serve as themes to investigate similarities and specializations of protist, plant and animal cells. Other topics include organelle function, the cytoskeleton, cell division and intracellular transport. Lab will emphasize digital imaging to study cells and cell behaviors. Three hours lecture and three hours lab per week. (Robert L. Morris) Connections: Conx 20029 Living Architecture, Conx 23012 Visualizing Information

The goals for this course are to make your knowledge of the invertebrates a functional and integral part of your life as a biologist; to learn to recognize and discuss all of the phyla of invertebrates as well as some subphyla and classes; and to understand the evolution of the invertebrates. (Betsey Dexter Dyer)

3.00 Credits
The biology of microorganisms, concentrating on bacteria and viruses and including a section dealing with the fundamental concepts of immunology. The laboratory focuses on the techniques used to culture and identify microorganisms. Three hours lecture, three hours laboratory per week.

An introduction to the biology of marine organisms from an ecological perspective. Species interactions, distribution patterns and adaptations to the marine environment for the rocky intertidal, soft bottom, subtidal, deep sea, estuarine and coral reef habitats. Laboratories and field trips will provide a survey of marine algae and invertebrates. Three hours lecture, three hours laboratory per week. (Scott W. Shumway)

4.00 Credits
An amazing blend of biology, chemistry, computing and mathematics emerges when considering the molecule "Deoxyribonucleic Acid" (DNA). DNA isthe blueprint of life for all organisms on Earth and throughout evolutionary time. This course explores DNA from the following four points of view: molecular biology, applied mathematics, evolutionary biology and computer science. Students will analyze DNA sequences by learning to write computer programs (software) in the language Perl. Learning to write programs is a pure, distilled form of problem solving, a vital skill for many careers and graduate studies. Historical and ethical aspects of DNA are discussed. Counts as a related course in the biology major and as a 200-level elective in the computer science major. (Betsey Dexter Dyer, Mark D. LeBlanc) Connections: Conx 20015 Genes in Context
