-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
This course examines the dynamics of biology, emphasizing an understanding of chemical, structural and physiological principles; the molecular basis of life and cell metabolism; inheritance and development of organisms; and origin and diversity of life. It is recommended that students take this course after completing any required noncredit coursework in Reading, Math, or English. 4 cr. 3 Lec. 3 Lab. (Per Departmental Standards Version of BIO 111, approved by Academic Affairs on 4/8/04).
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
This course studies the population, species, evolution, and diversity of life. An ecological-concerns approach is presented on aspects of the environment of biotic communities. Laboratories, often in the field, focus largely on populations and communities. It is recommended that students take this course after completing any required noncredit coursework in Reading, Math, or English. 4 cr. 3 Lec. 3 Lab. (Per Departmental Standards Version of BIO 112, approved by Academic Affairs on 4/8/04).
-
2.00 Credits
This course will study the composition of animal feed, nutritional and feeding requirements of animals, dietary formulation and the digestive process. Lecture topics will include the macro and micronutrients, the digestive process (anatomy, physiology and metabolism), feedstuffs, feeding and problems of incorrect feeding/malnutrition. Students will visit a feed company, a commissary and/or a feed mill to observe application of nutritional knowledge and practices. 2 cr. 2 Lec. (Departmental Standards Version of BIO 121 - approved by Academic Affairs on 2/19/2009.)
-
2.00 Credits
This course is designed to provide students with practical experience in identification, techniques of collection, maintenance, breeding and nutritional requirements of aquatic species. Emphasis also will be placed on water chemistry, fish disease and the display of these species especially for educational purposes. 2 cr. 2 Lec. (Departmental Standards Version of BIO 122 - approved by Academic Affairs on 2/19/09)
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
This course discusses and interrelates biochemistry, cellular structure and function, cellular communication, the processes of cellular metabolism and reproduction, patterns of genetic inheritance, nucleic acid structure and function, gene expression and its regulation, and biotechnology. This course is recommended to science, math, pre-forestry, pre-health professions and pre-nursing students but is open to all students. Satisfies Math/Science curriculum laboratory science requirement. Prerequisites: High School Biology and Chemistry or BIO 111 or BIO 112 and CHE 107. 4 cr. 3 Lec. 3 Lab. (Per Departmental Standards Version of BIO 131, approved by Academic Affairs on 5/13/04).
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
The course provides an overview of evolutionary biology, diversity of living organisms, and main principles of ecology and conservation biology. Topics include evolution, speciation, classification, structure and function of living organisms, population growth and regulation, animal behavior, and ecology. Laboratories consist of hypothesis testing, taxonomy, and field investigations. Satisfies Math/Science curriculum laboratory science requirement. Prerequisites: High school biology or BIO 111 or BIO 112, and one year of high school chemistry, or CHE 107. 4 cr. 3 Lec. 3 Lab. (Per Departmental Standards Version of BIO 132, approved by Academic Affairs on 4/8/04).
-
3.00 Credits
The course is designed to teach the various levels of genetics and their application. Topics will include the structure of DNA, nature and control of gene expression, modes of inheritance, gene mutations, DNA repair, chromosomal mutations, chromosome mapping, recombination in bacteria and viruses, recombinant DNA, applications of recombinant DNA, control of cellular differentiation, clinical genetics, immunogenetics, genetics of cancer, multifactorial inheritance, common genetic diseases, genetic screening, qualitative genetics and population genetics. Prerequisite: BIO 111 or higher. 3 cr. 3 Lec. (Per Departmental Standards Version of BIO 200, approved by Academic Affairs on 2/7/03).
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
This course develops the interrelationships of the biotic and abiotic components of the population, community, and ecosystem levels. Lecture and laboratory both stress population dynamics, ecological genetics, productivity, energy flow, biogeochemical cycling, animal behavior, and aquatic and terrestrial community structure and succession. The interaction of man with his environment, with attention given to such issues as air and water pollution, is also discussed. Satisfies Math/Science curriculum laboratory science requirement. Prerequisites: High school biology, College level biology (BIO 111 or higher recommended). 4 cr. 3 Lec. 3 Lab. (Per Departmental Standards Version of BIO 201, approved by Academic Affairs on 10/11/00).
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
Microbiology is the study of microorganisms including morphology, reproduction, physiology, genetics, identification, ecological significance, distribution and their relation to health and disease. Prerequisites: CHE 131 or BIO 111, 112, 131 or 203. 4 cr. 3 Lec. 3 Lab. (Departmental Standards Version of BIO 202 - approved by Academic Affairs on 5/13/99.)
-
0.00 - 4.00 Credits
The study of the structure and functions of the human body begins with examination of the molecular and cellular units of the body organs. Groups of body organs in turn make up the functional units known as systems. In this first course, the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, cardiovascular, lymphatic and respiratory systems will be studied in detail. Prerequisites: High school biology, college level biology, or permission of the instructor; some chemistry background recommended. 4 cr. 3 Lec. 3 Lab. (Per Departmental Standards Version of BIO 203, approved by Academic Affairs on 10/14/99.)
