3.00 Credits
A one-semester course in basic food microbiology outlining important micro-organisms, food preservation and spoilage, food contamination, enzymes produced by micro-organisms, foods in relation to disease, food sanitation, control and inspection, and microbiological laboratory methods.
-
3.00 Credits
A multi-disciplinary approach is taken to the environmental and ecological sciences emphasizing principles, problems, and alternative approaches to solutions. Students study how the equilibrium and stability of ecosystems are affected by human activity. Current models are examined for their efficacy in solving environmental degradation problems. The issues are treated in sufficient depth to permit quantitative reasoning and assessment, especially in such vital topics as demographic trends of humanity in a resource-limited biosphere. Human physiological and behavioral requisites are interwoven with the fabric of culture and technology in modern society. Information systems and models are used. In addition to lectures and seminars, students are required to become involved in a term activity, project or paper, which may integrate several disciplines.
-
4.00 Credits
The similarity in living things is demonstrated by a molecular and cellular approach to biology. After introductory biochemistry, the cell as the basic unit of life is studied structurally and metabolically. Life functions are examined from a cellular and from a vertebrate-organismic viewpoint. The central theme is the flow of energy between the biosphere and the ecosphere. The scientific method and hypothesis-testing are stressed as a means of investigation and forming conclusions. Collaborative laboratory assignments will include microscopic studies of the cell, its functions, and the dissection of a fetal pig. Corequisite: CHEM 110 or approval of the chairperson.
-
4.00 Credits
The variety of living things is demonstrated by a study of representative plants and animals, emphasizing the viewpoints of taxonomy, phylogeny, morphology, and physiology. The continuity of life is demonstrated through studies in reproduction, genetics, and organic evolution. Scientific inquiry and critical thinking strategies are emphasized. Collaborative laboratory assignments include the dissection and study of fixed and living specimens representing the whole range of life. Prerequisite: BIOL 110; Corequisite: CHEM 150.
-
1.00 Credits
These sixteen one-hour sessions will be used to present history, philosophy and neurophysiological integration with biomechanical principles of osteopathic methodology. Restricted to B.S./D.O. students or permission of chairperson.
-
4.00 Credits
A structural study of the human body. Topics include cells and tissue, skeleton, articulation, muscles, body systems, special organs, and surface anatomy. Prerequisite: BIOL 110, BIOL 150, BIOL 240. Health Professions majors waive Biology I and II as prerequisites.
-
4.00 Credits
The structure, development, and evolution of vertebrates are studied. Laboratory work emphasizes the development of structure in vertebrates, using dissection specimens including the shark, cat, and monkey. Prerequisite: BIOL 240.
-
3.00 Credits
Study is made of the relationships among living things and species and how they reflect changes in their environments. Students study how the equilibrium and stability of ecosystems are affected by human activity. Current models are examined for their efficacy in solving environmental degradation problems. Other topics studied include trophic dynamics, habitats, resource management, and the ecological niche. Visits to field sites may occur. Prerequisite: BIOL 150.
-
4.00 Credits
A study of the development of the vertebrate organism from ovum to adult. Topics include cleavage, organogenesis, fertilization, regeneration, and comparative developmental patterns. Laboratory exercises include work with living and preserved specimens. Prerequisite: BIOL 150; Corequisite: CHEM 210.
-
4.00 Credits
A structural study of human cells, tissues, and organs with reference to their physiology and pathology. Special consideration is given to physiochemical principles in the identification of cellular components, as well as to principles of histological techniques. Laboratory exercises include the systematic study and preparation of normal and pathological tissues, emphasizing the practice of routine and special staining techniques. Prerequisites: BIOL 150, CHEM 150.
