-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to basic concepts of biology through experiential learning and skills development. Lectures coupled with investigative laboratories provide exposure to the following areas of concentration: cellular structure and function, genetics, and evolution. Offered Fall Semester. Biology faculty.
-
3.00 Credits
A sequel to BIO 110 addressing basic concepts of biology through the use of experiential learning and investigative skills. Lectures coupled with open-ended experimentation explore the following areas of concentration: biodiversity, plant and animal structure and function, and ecology. Offered Spring Semester. Prerequisite: C- or better in BIO 110. Biology faculty.
-
3.00 Credits
A course for non-majors examining biological aspects of human sexuality. Content covered will include male and female reproductive anatomy and physiology, the biology of sexual responses, sexual dysfunctions, genetic basis of sex, sexual development, pregnancy and birth control, sexually transmitted diseases, and biological perspectives on gender identity. While the course focuses on a biological understanding of sex, information and perspectives from other disciplines will be liberally incorporated. Laboratories will both reinforce specific course content as well as provide opportunity for students to apply scientific methodology and hypothesis testing. Course subjects and materials are frank, explicit and graphic; suggested for students with serious interest and mature sensibilities. Prerequisite: none.
-
3.00 Credits
An in-depth, cross-sectional study of the diversity of eukaryotic organisms. Pertinent to this course is the evolutionary process which is centered on adaptation, diversity, natural selection and speciation. Topics include paleontology, life histories, survival strategies in feeding and reproduction, biogeography and patterns of extinction. The social, ethical and political consequences of human activities will also be addressed. This course assumes reasonable knowledge of all major taxa and schemes of taxonomy. The laboratory component will consist primarily of field work. Offered Fall Semester. Prerequisite: C- or better in BIO 111. S. Mistry.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the diversity in viruses, bacteria, fungi, and algae with an emphasis on the role of evolution in generating the diversity found in microorganisms. Consideration will be given to various energy metabolisms, genetic strategies, molecular systematics, and microbial adaptations that allow such diversity. Also considered will be the importance of microorganisms in medical, industrial, and environmental settings. A laboratory is included. Offered Spring Semester. Prerequisite: C- or better in BIO 111. J. Balczon.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the population as the unit of evolution. Considered are the origins of life, gene pools and genetic equilibrium, adjustments and adaptations to the environment including fluctuations in numbers, genetic drift, polymorphism, isolation, and the origin of races and species. A laboratory is included with some field work. Offered Fall Semester 2005 and alternate years. Prerequisite: C- or better in BIO 111. J. Robertson.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of molecular structure and function in Archaea, Eubacteria, and Eukarya. Topics include transport across cell membranes, cellular energy conversion, cell-to-cell signaling, cell movements, cell shapes, and cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. A laboratory is included. Offered Spring Semester. Prerequisite: C- or better in BIO 111. P. McCarthy.
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to the physiology of cells, plants, and animals. Major emphasis is placed on the functional interrelationships that exist within cells and organisms. A laboratory is included. Offered Fall Semester. Prerequisite: C- or better in BIO 111.
-
2.00 Credits
First of a two-course sequence studying the anatomical and physiological principles of the human body, a survey of the major organ systems of the human body and their relationship to health and disease. Emphasis is placed on cells, tissues, and the nervous, muscular, and digestive systems. A laboratory is included. Offered Fall Semester 2006 and alternate years. Prerequisite: C- or better in BIO 111. When taken together with BIO 223, this course fulfills one concentration requirement (in the area of physiology and cell biology) plus one elective for biology majors. J. Robertson.
-
2.00 Credits
Second of the two-course sequence studying the anatomical and physiological principles of the human body. Emphasis is placed on circulatory, respiratory, immune, reproductive, and endocrine systems. A laboratory is included. Offered Spring Semester 2007 and alternate years. Prerequisite: C- or better in BIO 222. J. Robertson.
