4.00 Credits
A survey of life from the standpoint of humans, including structural and behavioral evolution, functional characteristics, and relationship to the natural world. Recent developments in Biology are explored, including applications of DNA analysis and recombinant DNA technology. The laboratory exercises involve simple investigations of the life processes by utilizing basic research tools. A range of life forms are studied in the laboratory, with particular emphasis on animals ranging from planaria to preserved frogs. Note: Credit cannot be earned for both BIO 120 and BIO 130 and BIO 131. BIO 120 cannot be used as a prerequisite for BIO 131. (3,2) 4 credits Fall, Spring, Summer

3.00 - 4.00 Credits
This course is an inquiry into the mechanism of diseases that plague human beings. A systemic approach is taken in which all the major systems of the human body and the significant diseases that affect these systems are studied. Emphasis is on failures of homeostasis as the basic mechanisms of disease. Included are discussions on available treatments and therapies, the impact of new technological developments, and maintaining health and avoiding disease. The laboratory component contains both traditional and computer-generated exercises, complemented by videos and laser disc materials, that illustrate the onset and development of a variety of diseases and pathological states. (3,2) 4 credits Fall, Spring, Summer
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides a basic background in the nature and biochemical function of essential and non-essential nutrients, the molecular basis of metabolism and nutrient requirements of living cells and organisms. The role of nutrients in gene expression, genetically modified foods and the role of diet in the treatment of chronic and other existing states will be explored through research and lecture. (3,0) 3 credits Spring
-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
This course deals with biological processes primarily at the molecular and cellular level, and develops the foundations of evolutionary and ecological concepts. There is a study of cell structure, and an examination of cellular composition and metabolic processes including enzyme activity, respiration, and photosynthesis. Principles of genetics are studied at the cellular and molecular level, with reference to current techniques in molecular biology. Evolutionary mechanisms are introduced and ecological concepts are presented as a unifying theme. (3,3) 4 credits Fall, Spring, Summer
-
3.00 Credits
This course deals with biological processes primarily at the organismal level, and examines the diversity of living things. The origins and adaptations of the Monera, Protista, and Fungi are explored, with emphasis on their ecological roles, economic value, and medical significance. Plant life cycles are introduced, and plant structure, physiology, and utilization are studied. The evolution and adaptations of various animal phyla are presented, with a consideration of structure and function in each; organ systems are studied with emphasis on humans as representative vertebrates. Prerequisite(s): BIO 130 (3, 3) 4 credits Fall, Spring, Summer
-
3.00 - 4.00 Credits
Marine Science is designed to give the student an appreciation and understanding of the dynamics and interactions of the various components (biological, chemical, physical, geological) of the world's oceans. Habitats studied will range from nearshore estuarine systems to deep ocean systems. Special consideration will be given to the human use and manipulation of the Long Island coastal zone. Laboratory sessions will include methodologies used in oceanographic sampling and analysis as well as exercises reinforcing lecture material. Field trips will also play an important part of the course work supporting lecture topics. (3,2) 4 credits Contingent on Demand
-
3.00 Credits
This course will survey the major physiological and morphological relationships of the body organ systems. The major theme will embrace the integrative pathways and regulatory processes that reflect holistic concepts. The laboratory will include human skeletons, models, slides, laser disc and physiographic demonstrations to strengthen and support the understandings of structure and function. The use of interactive software will be required in the laboratory. This course is a one-semester integrated survey of anatomy and physiology. Note: Credit cannot be earned for both BIO 166 and BIO 170 or BIO 171. BIO 166 cannot be used as a prerequsite for BIO 171. Prerequisite(s): H.S. biology with a lab or BIO 120 or BIO 123 or BIO 130; high school or college chemistry recommended (3, 2) 4 credits Fall, Spring, Summer
-
4.00 Credits
This course is designed to develop critical thinking skills while studying the structural and functional components of the human body framework. Detailed attention will be given to the skeletomuscular systems, joints, and nervous system. In support of this effort, a brief review of body organization, body chemistry, and cell physiology will be studied from a holistic approach. Many lectures will be presented with interactive computer CDs. In the laboratory, the student will participate in critical thinking exercises relating human form to function. Selected laboratory sessions will incorporate CD ROM based physiology exercises. One laboratory meeting at SUNY Stony Brook Medical Center is planned which will provide direct opportunity to observe a prosected human cadaver. This is the first part of a two-semester integrated treatment of anatomy and physiology. Prerequisite: High School Biology with a laboratory or BIO 120 or BIO 123 or BIO 130; high school or college chemistry recommended (3,3) 4 credits Fall, Spring, Summer
-
4.00 Credits
The second semester will continue the theme of Anatomy and Physiology I by giving special attention to the integrative homeostatic concepts which support human life. Systems to be studied will include endocrine, circulatory, respiratory, digestive, renal and reproductive. The role of nutrition and selected metabolic pathways will also be reviewed. Many lectures will be presented with interactive computer CDS. In the laboratory the student will continue using interactive CD ROM based physiology exercises. Anatomical models, histological slides and other laboratory materials will be utilized. A laboratory meeting will be scheduled at SUNY Stony Brook Medical Center to observe the prosection of human cadavers. This is the second part of a two-semester integrated treatment of anatomy and physiology. Prerequisite: BIO 170 (3,3) 4 credits Fall, Spring, Summer
-
2.00 Credits
An introduction to the biology of plants and their ancestors. Topics include cell structure and function, cell chemistry, photosynthesis and cellular respiration. The tissues, roots, stems and leaves are studied covering such topics as conduction, absorption, translocation and reproduction. A phylogenetic comparison among plant groups and their ancestors is the underlying theme. (May be taken independently or as part of a two course sequence with B10 193.) (3,2) 4 credits Fall
