-
3.00 Credits
This course examines the basic concepts of astronomy, meteorology, geology and the principles derived from those concepts.
-
4.00 Credits
This course studies the chemical properties of protoplasm; cell structure and cell division; metabolic processes in organisms, including photosynthesis and respiration; principles of genetics including Mendelian laws; evolution and ecological relationships of organisms.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 01100 This course provides a brief survey of the different kinds of plants and animals; the roles of hormones and enzymes; tropisms; growth and development; plant and animal tissues and organ systems.
-
1.00 Credits
This laboratory course is designed for freshman Biology majors and is the first of a four-course introductory sequence. This course introduces students to organismal diversity and its evolutionary origins, covers the fundamental concepts of evolutionary theory, and surveys many of the ways that organisms have become adapted to their environments. In addition, students in this course will learn some of the basic skills necessary for scientific inquiry, including the scientific method, critical thinking, experimental design, and the gathering, analysis, and presentation of quantitative data. Credit will not be given for both Biology I (BIOL 01104) and Biology I (BIOL 01100). Priority for enrollment will be given to students declared as Biology majors, Biology minors, Computer Science majors, Biochemistry majors, Environmental Studies majors, Environmental Studies minors, or Pre-Medical concentration.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: CHEM 05102 This laboratory course provides an introduction to cell and tissue structure, cellular reproduction and metabolism, and mechanisms of evolution. A brief survey of the plant and animal kingdom emphasizes how their systems have changed through evolution.
-
2.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 01104 This course is designed for first year biology majors and builds on skills and knowledge gained by the students from Biology 1. The course focuses on the study of genetic factors in bacteria, viruses, higher plants and animals. The principles of mendelian, molecular and population genetics will be introduced. Discussion of genetic applications in agriculture, biotechnology, and medicine will be an integral part of the course. The laboratory projects will provide the students with the opportunity to gain hands-on experience with the most common classical and molecular genetics methods. Credit will not be given for both Biology 2 (BIOL01.104) and Biology II (BIOL01.101).
-
3.00 Credits
This non-laboratory course acquaints students with the structure and function of man. It stresses the major organ systems of the body.
-
4.00 Credits
This one-semester laboratory course provides an introduction to the basic concepts of the biological sciences, including, but not limited to, origin of life, evolution of multicellular organisms, population and community ecology, and a survey of the modern kingdoms of living organisms. Emphasis will be placed on ecological and conservation problems. Laboratory exercises enable the student to visualize many of the concepts discussed in class. No credit toward biology major.
-
4.00 Credits
This one-semester laboratory course provides an introduction to the basic concepts of the biological sciences, including, but not limited to, cell biology, the body plan and organ systems of vertebrate animals, genetics and heredity, and vertebrate evolution. Emphasis will be placed on how these topics relate to the human organism. Laboratory exercises enable the student to visualize many of the concepts discussed in class. No credit toward biology major.
-
4.00 Credits
This laboratory course considers the diversity of uses of plants in human cultures, and the biological bases for their utility. The course is primarily concerned with the positive impact of plants, including their roles in human nutrition, medicine, clothing, fuels, building materials, and ecosystems. It also considers the negative impact of plants as weeds and health hazards. Students who complete this course will have a comprehensive understanding of the importance of plants in human societies, from a biological perspective. No credit toward biology major.
